Bevagna,
situated in the middle of the green valley 'Valle Umbra', on
the bank of the river Teverone, near the foothills of the
Martani mountains. During Roman times the town was called
Mevania. This was a period of prosperity, because Bevagna was
situated next to a branch of the much-travelled trade route the
Via Flaminia. The town has a really romantic medieval square
with its palazzo dei Consoli (13th century)
and the Romanesque churches S.Silvestro and S.Michel Arcangelo.
Interesting is the Roman mosaic floor ( first half of the 2th
AD) with a design of marine animals in black and white tesserae. Every year, during the month June, a manifestation, the 'Gaite' takes place in Bevagna. The Gaite is an evocation of the everyday life of the Middle Ages that is based on the antique division of Bevagna in four districts. The inhabitants of Bevagna involves themselves in the organization of handicraft shops, of typical markets of antique times and taverns, where one can taste dishes prepared according to the antique Umbrian recipes. The event is enriched of spectacles, concerts and exhibitions.
