Spello

Augustus made Hispellum a Roman colony, and its Augustan walls and gates still frame the town on the lower slopes of Monte Subasio, between Assisi and Foligno. The old centre climbs a ridge from Porta Consolare, where an old olive tree grows on top of the clock tower. Inside, Pinturicchio frescoed the Baglioni chapel, and each Corpus Domini the streets are carpeted with flowers.
