Dettaglio offerta - I borghi delle due valli

The Castle of Montegiove stands on a wooded hill in the heart of green Umbria, on the border between Orvieto and Perugia, and is one of the oldest castles in the region. It was built around 1280 by the Bulgarelli family, counts of Marsciano, and owes its name to the existence of a Roman temple dedicated to "Iuppiter elicius", confirmed by the discovery of two terracotta votive heads of the deity. Over the centuries, ownership of the castle passed through various hands, becoming the home of the Beata Angelina, the Monadelschi della Vipera family and the famous condottiere Gattamelata, among others. Since 1780, it has belonged to the Marchesi Misciattelli, who unified the ancient feud and ownership of the castle and adapted it for agricultural purposes.
