Spello
Spello (in Antiquity: Hispellum) is an ancient town and comune (township) of Italy, in the province of Perugia in eastern-central Umbria, on the lower southern flank of Monte Subasio. It is 6 km (4 mi) north-northwest of Foligno and 10 km (6 mi) south-southeast of Assisi. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").
The old walled town lies on a regularly northwest–southeast sloping ridge that eventually meets the plain. From the top of the ridge, Spello commands a good view of the Umbrian plain towards Perugia; at the bottom of the ridge, the town extends beyond its walls into a small modern section (or borgo), served by the rail line from Rome to Florence via Perugia.
