Scheggino

In July 1522, with the men away in the fields, the women and young people of Scheggino drove off a siege, and a festival still re-enacts it every 23 July. Built in the 12th century as an outpost of the Duchy of Spoleto, the village runs down from its half-ruined tower to the Nera in the heart of the Valnerina. Trout springs and a truffle museum speak for its food.
