In the week after the end of Spoleto’s Festival of the two worlds, the town resumes its sleepy summer routine. Apparently, British tourists are overwhelming autochthonous population of this medieval borough, probably due to the exceptional cuisine and the chivalric atmosphere.

If you step by, you may want to taste Montefalco Sagrantino (look for Arnaldo-Caprai label) and truffled “strangozzi” pasta. Also, Spoleto’s traditional pasta recipe is cooked with a tomato-oil-garlic sauce. In case, have lunch at Taverna La Lanterna and dine at Cantina de’ Corvi (booking mandatory). Notable mention for a two-day stay: Novecento restaurant.
