The Fascia Olivata is a unique heritage, the result of the combined work of nature and man over the centuries. A real cultural landscape, made of olive trees and villages of inestimable beauty: Assisi, Spello, Trevi, Foligno, Campello and Spoleto.
A three-day itinerary to discover a piedmont area, cultivated since Etruscan times and strongly linked to St. Francis who made the olive tree the universal symbol of peace.
