Spello, Umbria

Spello (in Antiquity: Hispellum) is an ancient town and comune (township) of Italy, in the province of Perugia in east central Umbria, on the lower southern flank of Mt. Subasio. It is 6 km (4 mi) NNW of Foligno and 10 km (6 mi) SSE of Assisi.
The old walled town lies on a regularly NW-SE sloping ridge that eventually meets the plain. From the top of the ridge, Spello commands a good view of the Umbrian plain towards Perugia; at the bottom of the ridge, the town spills out of its walls into a small modern section (or Borgo) served by the rail line from Rome to Florence via Perugia.
Populated in ancient times by the Umbri, it became a Roman colony in the 1st century BC. Under the reign of Constantine the Great it was called Flavia Constans, as attested by a document preserved in the local Communal Palace.

INFIORATA: The Spello Infiorata - street tapestries made from flower petals - an annual event held on the Sunday after Corpus Domini. It is not actually clear what the tapestry "petal" materials are as they are all cut to a small uniform particle size and delivered in boxes about the size of a pack of beer cans. The colours seem to extend to a much broader colour spectrum than one would find in flowers even in Italy! Notwithstanding this, the tapestries are bright, modern and dramatic!
