This magical, cultural and culinary experience is set in the gorgeous town of Trevi, one of the most exquisite medieval places in all of Italy . The town is built in the hills of this important olive oil region. Infact Trevi is regarded as the capital of the Italian Olive oil .
Trevi is located between Spoleto and Foligno only 30 minutes from Assisi, and maintains the integrity of medieval architecture at 400mt above the sea level. The lessons will take place in the Palazzo Cent'amori which it means one hundred loves. The Palazzo Cent'amori was home of Charlotte Bonaparte. Direct niece of Napoleon Bonaparte she lived with her beloved husband Settimio Cen'tamori, a musketeer of cape and sword to the Pope in the 1850's.The palazzo basement (dungeons) are from the year 1050 and the rest of the house is from the 1400's.
In the magnificent kitchen of the palazzo we will learn and prepare hands on our succulent dishes. We believe that a genuine dish must contain the right ingredients prepared by the people that have been cooking these recipe's passed on from many generations before.
We will enjoy the fantastic view from Spoleto to Perugia dominating all the Umbrian Valley and the Martani Mountains as we are having the fantastic meal we just learned.
Trevi is an all year round full of activities town, with many cultural events and exhibitions including S. Francesco's museum art collection, The Trevi Flash Art museum, The National Museum of Olive Oil Culture. During October enjoy the whole month with medieval manifestations like the Palio dei Terzieri and taste all Umbrian medieval food in the taverns open only during this month .
