Trevi is a city in the province of Perugia. Located between the valley and the mountains Brunette and Serano, it was originally inhabited by the Umbrians. Its name was
Trebia, which means
construction in that ancient language. Evidence of pre-Roman times is the recent discovery of the
stone of Bovara, an extraordinary document consisting of a stone with an inscription in ancient Umbrian language. The city had expanded significantly during the Roman era, thanks to its favorable location along the Flaminia road. Clitunno river flows at the bottom of the valley: miraculous properties were attributed to the waters of the river, which was celebrated by many poets, from Latin classics to Byron and Carducci.
