History and landmarks
Castello di Carnano
Castle · 300 m from the trail as the crow flies
Castle built by the Baschi counts to guard their mountain frontier, with a keep and walls that appear whole on a 1583 print. After 400 years of abandonment, it is said to be where Saint Francis of Assisi decided to found the Third Order.
Castello di Poggio
Castle · 1.6 km from the trail as the crow flies
A castle with Byzantine roots, fought over by Todi, the Apostolic Chamber and Orvieto for its strategic position. Bought in the late 1800s, it became home to the American comic actor Jimmy Savo and his wife Lina, who ran an art centre here.
