Stories of families between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance
Its theater is a real gem and from the garden of its 16th century Villa Fabbri we can look out to admire the beautiful countryside dotted with olive trees. A few steps from the historic center we'll visit a stupendous fresco of the Master Perugino in the Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Lacrime.
The absolute protagonist of this village is without a doubt Umbria's "green gold". One of Umbria's five DOP designated olive oils is producted here. The ancient origins of olive cultivation are present in Trevi: the ultra-millennial olive tree of St. Emiliano.
