Now in Spoleto, in the region of Umbria, north east of Rome. It's another of the so-called 'hill towns'. These towns seem to just hang on the sides of hills, and are usually built on the tops of the hills, like the one to the left, of the village of Casperia which we visited on the way here yesterday.
- security I'm sure against marauding hordes of ancient times.
Our hotel -Palazzo Dragoni, picture at top - the former home of a nobleman, is beautifully decorated with high - at least 12'- ceilings painted in typical Italian design, and has a wonderful view of the 12th century cathedral and belltower, and the interesting lines of rooftops of the town. The picture on the right is the view from our room.
