A city of Medieval and Renaissance art.
Those visiting Todi will, undoubtedly, want to discover the cultural attractions of the city, birthplace of the poet Jacopone di Todi, famous for his poems in dialect and one of the first in Italy to compose in dialect.
Although they may already know of Todi's mythological narratives which tell of its origins, the visitor will most certainly be surprised to discover the beauty of the monuments of the Medieval era and the works of art of the Renaissance period.
Amongst these, the Palazzo del Capitano, the Palazzo dei Priori, the Cathedral, the Church of St Fortunato, the city's patron saint and, finally, the Temple della Consolazione which houses numerous works of art. Even if Todi's past has been a bloody one, with numerous battles involving pillage and hostility, today Todi is known as a gloriously peaceful city of culture.
