Todi
Todi. A collage of soft-stone houses, palazzi and belfries pasted to a
hillside, Todi looks freshly minted for a fairy tale. Wandering its
steep backstreets is like playing a game of medieval snakes and
ladders. The pace of life inches along, keeping time with the
wildflowers and vines that bloom and ripen in the valley below. This
book is a walking-tour guide for English-speaking visitors, through an
ancient hill town in central Italy. Todi sits majestically above the
Tiber River in the region of Umbria, very near the exact geographic
center of Italy in Umbria. This region, known widely as "the green
heart of Italy" for its lush fields and majestic hills, lies midway
between Florence and Rome. Todi, a prototypical Italian hill town, was
founded over 1,500 years ago and has retained its historic beauty by
being surrounded by a set of walls that has prevented any new
construction and experienced almost no demolition for over 500 years.
The guide offers three walking tours that allow the visitor to
appreciate historic sites from the Etruscan era, through the Roman
centuries, and into the Renaissance. Each walk can be done in a
leisurely fashion with almost no distraction from noise or car
traffic.
