Introducing Spoleto
One the larger quaint Umbrian hill towns, Spoleto has become markedly popular over the past few decades for one reason: the Festival of Two Worlds. In 1958, opera composer Gian Carlo Menotti (who died in 2007) founded what has become known as the Spoleto Festival. Combining theatre, dance, music, spoken word and other art forms, the festival has gained a reputation as one of the best of its kind in the world and put this town, historically important since Roman times, back on the map.
