Nestled above the valley, on the southern slope of Mount Subasio, lies the ancient hill town of Spello, surely one of Italy’s prettiest. Around every corner, down every winding street and alleyway, are stunning photos just waiting to be taken. 

The recent discovery of a Roman villa, which opened to the public in 2018 in a contemporary building just outside the town gates, gives visitors another reason to visit this cultural and historic gem. The discovery was one of the most extraordinary archaeological finds in Umbria.
