Introduction
Unlike other nearby cities which attract hordes of tourists Trevi has remained away from mass tourism.
Until 1860 when Italy united Trevi was part of the papal state. It sided with Perugia against Spoleto. Trevi is a follower of the slow movement and considers itself a slow city in which siestas between 1 to 4 are daily rituals that no one dares to break. Its land is blanketed with greenish grey olive oil trees which produces the best olive oil in the country.
What to See and Do
Since the Roman epoch Trevi has devoted part of its life to drama. The Teatro Clitunno is still an important outing to enjoy the evening.
There are vestiges of the Roman walls and the medieval wall that once ringed the historic centre.
The Museo della Civilità dell’ Ulivo displays all elements connected to olive oil production from time immemorial.
The Flash Art Museum houses multimedia modern art.
A volunteers’ tourist information office located on Piazza Mazzini Pro Loco can guide tourists in this beautiful town.
Where to Eat
The enchanting Vecchia Posta is housed where the old post office was. Among other dishes it serves mouth watering lip-licking strangozzi, truffles and candied pear dessert covered with mint and chocolate sauce.
The precious Maggiolini features a well priced menu which lists truffle dishes and homemade pasta. During the summer you can savour its dishes al fresco.
