Description
"An Alley in Trevi" Trevi is a small Umbrian hilltown in the heart of Italy. Situated on Monte Serano, its buildings spill down over the sharply sloping terrain. Dating from the 1st century CE, this decidedly medieval town has some of the best views in Umbria extending over 50 km (30 miles) in a mostly westerly direction. When Hadrian restored the Roman road thru the territory - the Via Flaminia, spurring additional growth in the area.
In antiquity Trevi had jurisdiction over much of the valley below, all the way to the Monti Martani that form the central backbone of Umbria. The seat of a bishop until the 11th century, Trevi was a Lombard viceroyalty. Then, in the early 13th century, it freed itself of outside rulership to become a free commune. It generally allied itself with Perugia to defend itself from nearby Spoleto, and fought several wars with other neighboring communes, with varying outcomes.
