Torgiano and Deruta: two places dedicated respectively to the craftsmanship and the basic products of Italian cuisine, oil and wine.
Torgiano is a small but suggestive medieval center born around an old manor, a village placed at the confluence of the Chiascio river with the Tiber in an exceptionally rich hill of olive groves and vineyards. In fact, oil and wine are still today the most important heritage jealously preserved by the community: it is the City of Wine (its aging wines are delicious: DOCG, DOC, PDO and PGI) and Città dell'Olio, that's why in Torgiano there are two museums, the Wine Museum and the Oil Museum, a journey around the methods and tools of processing and at the same time around the territory and the rural culture.
In the historical center it is possible to admire the Baglioni Tower, testimony of the ancient fortified walls, and two fountains, by the artist Nino Caruso: the Fonte di Giano and the Fonte dei Cocciari. Torgiano is rich in religious buildings; the Church of San Bartolomeo, built in the eighteenth century on an ancient medieval church, the Church of Santa Maria del Castello, the Church of Madonna dell'Ulivello and the Oratory of Mercy. Inside the Church of Madonna dell'Ulivello you can admire paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth century, while the Oratory of St. Anthony offers frescoes of the sixteenth century.
The Wine Museum, one of the most famous oenological museums in Italy, is located in the seventeenth-century Palazzo Graziani-Baglioni of the Baroque period, and the Olive and Oil Museum, located in a small nucleus of medieval houses within the walls castellane, where documents, engravings, receptacles for conservation and other historical objects are kept.
Nearby, Brufa, a place known for being a stop on the Wine and Art Road, hosts every year artists who leave their sculptures on the territory, giving life to an open-air museum.
In Miralduolo it is worth visiting the Church of Santa Maria in Bucarelli, a Benedictine legacy from the 14th century that preserves a frescoed Majesty of the same period. Also worth seeing is the Church of the Madonna del Ponte in the locality of Ponterosciano and the Church of the Crucifix and of San Lorenzo in Pontenuovo.
The Country house and its dependence which forms the Agriturismo "I Mori Gelsi" are placed in the heart of cultivated fields, close to an hill of vineyards. It is surrounded by a fully fenced private garden with swimmng pool (5x10), fruit trees, aromatic herbs and flowers.
The country house has been vertically divided into two big Apartments, while the dependence is formed by one little independent unit. Furthermore, each apartment has a private wooden lighted gazebo in the garden to enjoy outdoor lunches and dinners.
At their arrival the guests will find on the kitchen table a "welcome basket" with the necessary for their breakfast (tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, sugar, marmalade, honey), two bottles of the Farm wine, an home made salami and fresh eggs.
The Country house has been carefully restored and divided into two elegant apartments, on two floors each.
Each apartment is formed by three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, one with shower and the other with bathtub, a living room on the ground floor and a sitting room on the first floor with a cast iron stove and eventually a double bed sofa; an ample and fully equipped wooden kitchen. The stairs and the first floor ceiling are on wood too, in order to respect the local tradition.
Really sunny and peaceful, both apartments have been furnished with care and good taste, using some antique and some old pieces.
Telephone, heating, washing-machine, dish-washer, iron and iron board, hair dryer, safety box, moving barbecue, furthermore, equip each apartment.

How to find the Fattoria Spinola:
• if you come from North (motorway A1) exit VALDICHIANA, direction Perugia (E45) for km 56. Bypass Perugia and keep your left direction Ponte San Giovanni (exit). Follow direction to Torgiano
Once passed Ferriera, Miralduolo, and you will be 1km from Torgiano Village, you will find on the road a small signal "Fattoria Spinola" that is on your right.
The entrance to the farm is bordered by a white picket fence that leads into a dirt road.
You go down that road for about 100 meters and you will find the gate of the Fattoria Spinola.
I recommend not to go directly to the MORI GELSI because I am not there and so I do not know when you arrive!
• if you come from South (ex. Rome) exit ORTE on motorway A1 direction Terni and then exit direction Perugia. Follow E45 and exit Pontenuovo/Torgiano.
Follow this road until you reach a junction. Turn left, cross a bridge over the river Chiascio and continue to the traffic lights.
At the traffic lights go straight on (SP401) in the direction of Ponte San Giovanni.
After 600m you will find on your left the Fattoria Spinola
The entrance to the farm is bordered by a white picket fence that leads into a dirt road.
