The Comune of Campello sul Clitunno lays over a widely extended area. It is not concentrated in a sole urban settlement on its own but it is a group of various small living centres and castles, spread over the plain area or through the mountain woods, each one of them with its own folks, its own church, its own Saint to adore and its own very aged and solid culture.

It’s an easily reachable target both by the Flaminia State Road both by railway net for all those who wish to live intensively a resting pause in harmony with the surrounding nature and meanwhile being close to the most important centres of historical and cultural interest in the whole Umbria Region.

It is the suitable place for whoever is always in search for authentic sites where to spend holidays or some relaxing days, far from routine and city jams. The first sight is impressive to tourists: the whole southern slope of Serano Mountain, open as a half-circle is spotted with small inhabited centres over which the castles of Campello Alto and Pissignano reign and at its slope the clear Fonti del Clitunno water gushes out.

Here the source veins of the homonymous river cause a small and enchanted lake, surrounded by a thick vegetation that was very famous already in the past. In the valley, about 1 km far from here, the Tempietto (small temple) lays. A masterpiece of romanic architecture and dedicated to God Clitunno.

There are many small churches that are worth being noticed and preserve very aged and unique works and pictures inside. Among them all we remind that one of Saint Sebastian, near the Fonti (Sources) and frescoed by Giovanni di Pietro nicknamed as “Lo Spagna”, that one of Saint Lorenzo, inside the Castle of Campello Alto that preserves a precious Baroque wooden altar.

As charged with archeological, historical and cultural memories, the Campello area offer itself to tourists by the sincere hospitality of a peasant tradition and offering a good level receptivity.

As a matter of fact it has preserved itself as a man-sized one and there, the ancient traditions are still alive and mirror themselves in the quality of life, in purity and genuineness of products, in the wonderful traces by History, by Art, by Culture in the landscape.
