Tradition and folklore
For the last several years Spello has been trying to recover its folklore and testimonies of rural civilization. The feast, “Infiorata del Corpus Domini”, is without a doubt the symbol of popular art in Spello. The long 1500 metre carpet of flowers with its sweet smells and dazzling colours, prepared for the religious procession, is a fascinating if short-lived creation that has become an event that attracts visitors from everywhere.
Rural traditions from the past are brought back to life during the Olive Fair and at the Bruschetta Fair, which, with song and dance (including the famous “saltarello”), are evidence of the attachment of the people to their origins such as the genuine passion for food that is manifested by the genuineness of the ingredients in the typical dishes and flavours of the region. |

THE RESTAURANT
Located in an old oil mill, the building of the IL MOLINO restaurant dates back to the 14th century. The views of walls from the Roman period and a large fireplace in the dining room contribute in creating warm and pleasant surroundings. The dining room can seat around 100 people and in the summer one can also enjoy the open-air terrace.
The dishes worth trying are based on traditional Umbrian cooking. The flavour of truffles from Norcia, cep mushrooms, pulses, game in the winter, wild asparagus and mountain herbs give the cooking its character. So, tradition combined with reelaboration and a lot of inventiveness give all the dishes a distinctive taste.
