Marsciano is Located in the green heart of Umbria in central position between Orvieto, Assisi, Perugia and Todi

The name of Marsciano first appears in the literature on 1004, but the real origins of the village, as it is the case for all the other villages founded after the barbaric invasions, are not known. The Bulgarellis, a longobard family, owned the village as a feud, on the XII century, and yielded it towards Perugia on 1281 to impeed Todi conquering the village.

As it happened for other villages, after the Perugia dominion, Marsciano was owned by the papal State and shared the fate with it. The marvelous view of the hills around the village, reminds the paintings of the umbrian artists of the '400's.

 Remarkable, in the village, a fresco made by "Perugino" to be found in the curch of Cerqueto. Getting to the Tuderte region from north, the first town you arrives at is Marsciano, in a land with lot of castles and curches. Keeping the way towards south, you will get in Fratta Todina, one of the smallest communs of Umbria, with the castle walls and churches still well preserved.
Among them, it should be reminded the Convent of Santa Maria della Spineta, one of the most evocative sites of the francescan tradition. Going further you will get at Montecastello di Vibio, a village probably founded by etrurians in a very nice position.

 There you can visit the smallest theatre in the world: Teatro della Concordia. After additional 15 km in the beautiful valley of Tevereyou will finally get to the most beautiful town of this region: Todi.
