The ancient town of Spoleto is about 30 miles from Todi, in the south-east part of Umbria: the old town is perched on top of a hill overlooking the Roman Via Flaminia.

Rich in art and history, Spoleto is well known among art & music lovers due to the renowned Festival of the Two Worlds, opened in 1958 by Giancarlo Menotti (Italian composer and writer, naturalized American); his ais was to unite European and American art and music. Mr. Menotti passed in 2007 in Monte Carlo.
