| Page Views: 2,457 Last Visit to Bevagna: July, 2004 | Bevagna, Italia by karenincalifornia - last update: Feb 28, 2005 |
The owners of the house we were renting in Todi recommended a visit to the small medieval town of Bevagna. If it hadn't been for their recommendation, we probably would have missed it. Bevagna's origins date back to ancient Umbrian and Estruscan times. Roman ruins from 2nd century A.D. have been somewhat preserved. Most of the existing structures were built beginning in the 1100s and over the next several centuries. The town of Bevagna was absolutely the quietest Italian town we visited. In fact, we were the only tourists in town during our afternoon visit. I recommend visiting Bevagna in the morning, not the afternoon when all the shops close up. Better yet, visit Bevagna from June 20 - 30 during the Le Gaite Faire - an exciting ten day replication of life in the middle ages in a country town in Italy. |
