Spoleto, Italy - A Quick Peek
Culture Discovery Vacations - A cooking and culinary tour company based in Soriano nel Cimino, Italy. Spoleto (About 40 minutes from Soriano) is one of the popular destinations on our cooking and culinary tours from Soriano nel Cimino, Italy.
Spoleto is one of the more beautiful cities in Umbria, but it is best known for its Jazz festival. The city dates back to the fifth century BC, and its vast history can still be seen at every corner. Some of the more interesting sights in Spoleto are the massive 14th century Rocca Albornoziana (The Albornozian Castle), which is full of beautiful frescoes and the 12th century cathedral (Duomo), both of which are shown in the video.
Interesting sights in Spoleto that are not shown in the video include: The Ancient Roman theater, the 1st century Ponte Sanguinario (The bloody bridge), Ponte delle Torri (the 13th century aqueduct), the 16th century Palazzo Racani-Anoni, the 14th century Palazzo della Signoria, and much more.
Many of our DiscoverSoriano.com itineraries feature a visit to this magnificent town, but for those that wish to go on their own, it can be found in the Perugia Province of Umbria, Italy; about 15 miles north of Terni, or about 75 miles north of Rome. It is about 30 miles north of our home base, Soriano nel Cimino.

This week-long vacation will consist of a very small and intimate group of about 16 or fewer people. It is an 8 day, 7 night all-inclusive experience in the north-eastern Italy, based in the city of Bologna. This week is all about having incredibly unique cultural experiences that you will never forget. You will live the Italian life as we cook authentic Bolognese recipes together. We'll be having four cooking classes this week as we interact with and befriend the locals, get to know small-village artisans, and so much more. This trip will make you pinch yourself over and over in amazement that you are actually living it. Most of all, it is a week of fun, family and laughter as we share what makes Northern Italy so special in a very personal way.

- During the 2007 Tuscia in Jazz festival in Soriano nel Cimino, Italy, this 12 year old girl amazed everyone with her incredible voice and presence. She walked away with the Best Voice award in the 'Jimmy Woode' contest.
The judges at this seemingly insignifican festival were not insignificant at all.... They included Benny Golson, Joey De Francesco, Jimmy Cobb, Buster Williams, George Cables, Bobby Durham, Jesse Davis, Giorgio Rosciglione, Gegè Munari, Eddy Palermo, Piero Odorici, Massimo Faraò, John Kinnison all presided over by Jimmy Woode's daughter, Shawnn Monteiro.
She went on to change her name to Jessica Brando, and appeared in the 2010 San Remo festival.
