Itinerary
Jacopone from Todi, poet and Franciscan friar but furthermore author of Stabat Mater Dolorosa, one of the greatest Latin hymns of all time, was born there. You will visit Saint Fortunato church which preserves his tomb. Just few steps out of the city centre you will see the Renaissance architecture of Santa Maria della Consolazione, built to preserve a 15th century image which performed a miracle which attracted a flood of pilgrims to the town. Twenty years ago Todi, this little town perched on a hill in the Tiber Valley in Italy, was celebrated as the world's most liveable town, a modern paradise. That was the conclusion reached after a lengthy study by a team from the University of Kentucky.

Thank you to Barbara, she was an exceptional tour guide. We are grateful to have spent our morning touring Todi with her. She is extraordinarily knowledgeable as well as inspiring! How Blessed to have crossed paths with such a lovely person.
Great city, old town beautiful but to note that many stairs are to be climbed. Our guide was very nice and spoke German accent-free. She had a lot of information for us and was passionate about it!
Elisa was the best tour guide, with so much history and information about Todi. Her passion for her hometown was wonderful and we learned so much about the town, it's history, and artwork. We fell in love with Todi and hope to return again.
<p>Elisa, a native of Todi, was superb. She answered lots of questions and added many references and stories about medieval Todi that were fascinating. We would love to visit again one day with her.</p>
