Montegabbione

Overview

Montegabbione recounts its ancient history with its walls, castle, entrance tower and watchtowers that stand out from the square, sentinels that once protected the town. The territory surrounding the village is characterised by a breathtaking landscape: the hills alternate as far as the eye can see, covered like a mantle with olive trees and vineyards, cultivated with passion and patience, with ancient and always the same gestures. But the symbol of this hamlet is the Franciscan Convent of Scarzuola: founded by the monk of Assisi in 1218, it was then purchased and renovated in 1956 by the Milanese architect Tommaso Buzzi, who between 1958 and 1978, next to the convent, designed and built his Ideal City, conceived as a 'theatrical machine'. Here, seven theatres and an acropolis tell a surreal and beautiful story, among archetypes, perspectives and unexpected glimpses. To be discovered, to be captivated by the unusual.
