Bevagna (the history)
Bevagna, known in ancient times as Mevania, is situated along the consular Flaminia road. It was an Umbrian city and a flourishing Roman municipality. In 774 this Longobard territory became part of the Papal State. After various historical events the Trinci family of Foligno imposed their rule from 1371 to 1439 after which time Bevagna was governed by the Papal governors. In 1860 the Church rule ended and Bevagna became part of the Kingdom of Italy.
Events:
Mercato delle Gaite, late June, a historical representation of everyday life in the Middle Ages. The people of the four town quarters, or “Gaite”, compete in setting up artisan workshops, taverns, and markets typical of the epoch and in the organisation of theatrical performances, concerts, exhibits, conferences and archery competitions.
