City Strategically Important Along The Flaminian Way As a Place For Changing Horses.

From antique Umbrian origins (Trebe means “home” in archaic tongue), Trevi was a Roman city strategically important along the Flaminian Way as a place for changing horses. Emiliano was the first bishop who was martyred in the 300's. It was a Duchy of the Longobards of Spoleto, then in 880 was invaded by the Saracens and then 30 years later by the Hungarians. Around 1000 it became a free city and during the war between the Papacy and the Empire, it reputedly took in Guelphs exiled from Spoleto, raising the ire of the duke who destroyed it in 1214. In 1285 it was allied with Perugia against Foligno and fought against Montefalco for the control of Clitunno. From the end of 1300 it was under the Trinci family. When they fell from power, in 1439, it was vied for by the Baglioni troops of Perugia and the Sforza family. It then passed on definitively to the church and along with other centres contributed to the drainage of the marshes in the area. Another contribution, very significant for the diffusion of culture in our country, was the setting up of one of the first Italian printing presses and the first in Umbria. Then it was owned by the Trinci family, the Baglioni's, the Sforza's and then to the Church. In the 1500's it was ruled by the family Valenti and once again began to prosper, especially in the commerce of olive oil. It is largely a Roman looking city with its perimeter wall climbing up the hill like going towards an acropolis.

Was built in the 1300's and redone in following centuries. It was a portico sustained by pillars and a trapezoid tower from the 1200.

Was given its name by a religious Armenian in 1100. The Romanesque origin is visible in the three external apses. But was remodelled in the 1400's, the 1700's and the 1900's. The bell tower is quite modern. The interior of the church has three naves and the beautiful altar of the Sacrament, dating from the 1500's; the church houses some precious paintings.

Dates from the 1200's with several Gothic elements. Inside there is a crucifix from the Maestro of Trevi (1300) and a monumental organ from 1509. The convent is an art gallery and a museum of oil.

With an atrium and five rooms with frescoes by Federico Zuccari.

Is now the Flash Art Museum for contemporary works of art.

Was built last century and has a beautiful backdrop by the Perugian artist, Domenico Bruschi.

Belonging to the Frati Minori Osservanti. The interior has a single nave with 2 chapels on one side. In the small square before the church there's a small chapel, inside there are pictures of saints and in the very back, a panorama of Foligno by G. Spagna.

From 15th century, the entrance door is decorated by male heads. In the city you can find other houses belonging to this noble family.
