An enchanted corner of Trevi: where time turns to stone.
In the heart of Umbria, nestled among centuries-old olive trees and painted hills, the village of Trevi holds glimpses that tell silent stories. One of these reveals itself suddenly as you walk along one of its typical cobblestone streets: a narrow, winding lane that winds between ancient buildings with warm colors and weathered facades.
Above this street, like a suspended bridge between past and present, stands a stone archivolt connecting two buildings, one to the right and one to the left. It is a simple yet powerful architectural element: a passage that not only unites, but also frames. Crossing it, you have the sensation of crossing an invisible threshold, as if entering another era.
The archivolt, with its time-worn stones, speaks of a village that has managed to preserve its soul. It is a sign of continuity, of a dialogue between the houses, between the people who have lived there and still live there today. Beneath it, the light changes: it becomes softer, more intimate, as if the village wishes to whisper its secrets only to those who know how to observe. This glimpse is one of the many reasons why Trevi enchants. It is not just beauty: it is identity, it is memory, it is the poetry of small things. Stopping here, even for just a moment, means being enveloped in an unforgettable atmosphere.

Here is where the village is located:
In the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance it had its best period, characterized by extraordinary trade that favored its economic prosperity (it was called "the dry port"), still testified today by the numerous buildings in the historic center, worthy of appearing in much larger cities, and the economic growth was accompanied by lively cultural and social activity. Already in 1469, to favor the circulation of money a Jewish banker was called, one of the few professions to which those men were authorized, and despite this he was persecuted and later one of the very first Monti di Pietà was erected, followed later by the Monte Frumentario and various other charitable and welfare institutions.
