Trevi

In an area rich in olive trees and full of beauty, we encounter the village of Trevi, which welcomes us by showing us evidence of its history: the massive defensive walls, for example, dating back to Roman times, built in the first century B.C., and medieval traces such as Porta del Bruscito, Porta del Cieco, Porta San Fabiano and the Mostaccio arch. But nature immediately returns as the protagonist when you look out from the walls onto the surrounding countryside and find yourself immersed in the olive groves: here a walk along the beautiful tree-lined avenue brings us back in contact with the earth, an archaic and powerful element, and with its generosity. A museum (located in the Convent of San Francesco) is also dedicated to the Olive Civilization. Finally, a curiosity: the hamlet of Bovara is home to the oldest olive tree in Umbria, 9 metres tall and 1700 years old, where in 304, legend has it, the town's patron saint was tied and killed.
