Montefalco…

I ran across pictures from two small towns that we visited last October in Umbria. Not far from Trevi and not very far apart, they could be visited on the same day. Lunch in the first one, Montefalco, and gelato in the second, Bevagna. Montefalco with red wine and peregrine falcons, may have been TM’s favorite small town we visited. He came home, anyway, with two posters for his cave (I do not know how he did it…not a single wrinkle). The posters celebrate the yearly wine festival.

Peregrines were everywhere…the center of the town square, sewer covers, backs of chairs and benches, and shutters…

Shots of the town on a beautiful, drizzly day, (we didn’t actually spot any real falcons)…

The beautiful San Francesco church with its frescos from the 1450’s is the town’s museum…

In the restaurant where we ate lunch the cook created the “mixed grill” right in front of us…I can still conjure up the aroma…
