Project Logo “Let’s Travel!”

Italian students of Graphic Design created the Project Logo, which visually identifies and makes easier to recognize all the countries of the partnership. The logo was applied in all partner schools and to all activities and products arising from the project: Blogs, TwinSpace, calendar, videos, brochures, documents, leaflets, gadgets, mobility activities, etc.

BY BIKE FOR PEACE: FOLIGNO - UMBRIA - ITALY

From Foligno to Rivotorto - Assisi: British War Cemetery

Cultural and Sport Tourism in Umbria, Italy: "Sagrantino Route"

  

1. WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS TYPE OF TOURISM?

Starting and finishing point: Montefalco   http://www.comunemontefalco.it

Distance: 41 km.

Total ascent: 400 metres

Grade: medium

Road surface: asphalt

Recommended type of bike: road and hybrid

Places to visit in the area: Montefalco, Campello sul Clitunno, Pissignano, Trevi.

Montefalco is famous throughout the world for its superb Sagrantino, perhaps the very best of Umbrian wines, as well as for its excellent olive oil and the beauty of the surrounding hills.

 Montefalco has been classified as one of the "Most beautiful small towns in Italy", and its wonderful position overlooking the central part of the region has earned it the name of “the Balcony of Umbria”.

The surrounding area is also an easy place to cycle around, which is why we have chosen a spot just outside the town walls as the starting point of this particular route. In fact, you are going to leave from the large car park on the outside of the walls, and from here ride through the town and carry on in the direction of Spoleto and Trevi.

2.WHAT SHOULD THERE BE IN THE BAG OF THE TRAVELLER PERFORMING THIS TRIP?

First of all you should have a rucksack in which you can put all the things you need for this type of trip: water, food, a change of clothes, a map, a compass, a towel, paper handkerchiefs, a cap

 3. HOW CAN TRANSPORTATION BE PROVIDED FOR THIS TRIP?

You can get to Moltefalco by your own car, or, if you travel  by train,  you should stop at Foligno Station and from there you can take a bus up to Montefalco. To check the bus timetable: http://www.umbriamobilita.it/it 

For the train timetable: www.ferroviedellostato.it

4. WHERE CAN THE TRAVELLER ACCOMMODATE DURING THIS TRIP?

There are plenty of  beautiful "agriturismi", B&Bs,  hotels and hostels in Umbria, especially in and around Montefalco, so you have a large and rich choice of  accommodation. Anyway, if you like nature, swimming, beauty and traditional cuisine, you can choose among these accommodation:

Villa Pambuffetti  Viale della Vittoria 20, (06036 Montefalco, Perugia)

 Tenuta Colverano

5. HOW LONG DOES THIS TRIP LAST? (MINIMUM TIME-DAY)

This trip may last 3 to 5 days, but it can be longer if you wish to visit some of

the marvellous Umbrian villages.

6. HOW MUCH MONEY IS NEEDED FOR THIS TRIP? (MINIMUM)

This trip might be a bit expensive if you choose a high level accommodation. In this case the price could be around 500 E for a five-day trip (bike rental included).

7. WHY SHOULD A TRAVELLER DO THIS TRIP? WHAT WILL THE TRAVELLER’S BENEFIT BE?

This kind of bike tour is the advised route for discovering the Sagrantino wine as well as the numerous art beauties of Umbria while peacefully and pleasantly cycling through the green olive groves and grapeyards . It is possible to tour the zone of Montefalco and Bevagna tasting the Sagrantino and Rosso di Montefalco wines on the way, purchasing fine olive oil directly from the producers and visiting very interesting medioeval and renaissance churches as well as important historical monuments.

Montefalco, the starting town of this tour,  is the home of Sagrantino and is known as the 'ringhiera dell'Umbria' or 'balcony of Umbria' for its panoramic position. The town is equally celebrated for the series of frescoes by Benozzo Gozzoli.

Calendar "Let's travel 2012!"

The Calendar “Let’s Travel 2012!” is a mosaic of the European variety of regional cultures.  Students of Graphic and Design of the Italian school coordinated, developed and designed the calendar by placing the information and images prepared by all partners.  Each country created two pages (two months), one on a significant local event or feast and one on tourism promotion.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Madonne e Messeri che in Foligno vivete o dentro le mura o fuori per le campagne amene, udite!
Dame superbe in preziosi broccati coi lor sorrisi alle genti intorno,
e scintillar di lance e di cruenti sproni e saettar di focosi destrieri
e lor nitrire nel divorar lo spazio e gran virtute de’ cavalieri eletti
e nembi di polve e volitar di piume e grida e gioia et urla di Vittoria,
ecco vi attendono al Campo de li Giochi, nel corruscar del Vespro settembrino!
Ecco tra Voi rinnovellata torna la tenzone della virtute e de l’honore che in premio porge,
al più bravo tra i bravi de’ cavalieri vostri in campo, prezioso palio e sorriso di Madonna illustre.
Qual de’ Rioni appagherà il desio di tòr di mano al Cavalier Vincitore il lauro cinto in ultima tenzone.
Ciascun de’ cavalieri nel maneggiar di lancia alla corsa furente di veloce destriero l’arma sua drizza alla desiata Vittoria.
E ciascun di Voi ha il cavalier eletto cui Fortuna e Valore daranno il vanto di altissimo honore.
Tutti accorrete e rimirate i prodi!
Tutti scendete ne le Piazze, ne le Vie e nel Campo de li Giochi!
E fate festa a’ cavalieri vostri!
Tutte accorrete, o genti de’ Rioni, tutte accorrete a gioir di Vittoria,
anco se arride altrui, ché la concordia e l’amor de la Cittade tutta
son pur Vittoria e bella e grande!
