Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Duomo di Spoleto, Piazza del Duomo, 06049, Spoleto Italy
The Cathedral of Spoleto, which is dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta, is located at the bottom of the outstanding Duomo Square, overlooking the Sixteenth Century Rancani Palace, (later renamed Arroni Palace), the Palazzo della Signoria, the octagonal Church of Santa Maria della Manna and the small Theater Caio Melisso.
Duration: 30 minutes
Pass By: Umbria Con Me Day Tours, St. Pietro Nenni, 06081, Assisi Italy
During the tour you will see, among the remains dating back to Roman time, a fine stretch of a still-standing pre-Roman dry-stone fortification surviving of city walls. The Romans built temples, forum, arches and most of them are still visible as a strata in the city center. The focus of our tour will be the city Duomo (Cathedral) where even Filippo Lippi from Florence, one of the most significant Renaissance painters, did work in the 15th century.
In the Cathedral you will see his frescos about Mary’s life together with a splendid 12th-13th mosaic floor and even a chapel decorated by Pinturicchio, a later but not less important Renaissance painter from Perugia. The duomo’s square works also as a setting for some concerts of Festival dei Due Mondi which takes place every year between the end of June and the first half of July. During that time Spoleto becomes a fully artistic city with art exhibitions, theater plays, concerts, ballets and poetry readings taking place everywhere making the city as a large stage for artists coming from all over the world. For olive oil, wine and typical food lovers, this tour will match your desires by offering the possibility of completing the day with tastings of delicious local food.
