A compass for Amerino country
It isn't fair, we've already said, that the beauty of this land, the endless green of its holm-oak groves, its millenary history, its flavours, its unicity should belong to us only and be something only the resident population should be entitled to enjoy.
That's the reason why we made of the promotion of the "Comunità Montana dell'Amerino" a fundamental act.
And we took the decision to make a guide book to the territory, which could help to discover the beauty of its nature and the thickness of its history, but also its cuisine, its industriousness, its pastimes and why not, its curiosities.
A guide, a compass, agile, punctual, which in its descriptions doesn't use exorbitant adjectives, but simply invites the visitors to have a look with their own eyes at the Amerino.
We propose you to discover a territory included in a triangle whose vertexes are Orvieto, Todi and Amelia, which is characterised by hills warm as the ploughed land, green as the Mediterranean bush, embellished with urban centres small, but all perfect as for city planning, and their burden of history.
Visiting our places one can see clearly the presence of man starting from the Etruscans, as in Montecchio, or the Umbrians as in Amelia, with its cyclopean walls still standing, to the Romans and their wealthy villas in the Tiber Valley, the Middle Age with its many fortresses and castles, the Renaissance and its fabulous paintings and the elegance and eurhythmy of its courtyards.
This superimposition of ages doesn't create disorder. On the contrary, melting with the naturalistic beauties, it produces serenity.
As far as we are concerned, we guarantee that everybody will feel at home. Or even better.
