Wander through ancient lanes, taste world-renowned prosciutto and truffles, and experience authentic Italian hospitality in every corner.

A Glimpse into Its Past

Norcia’s roots stretch back to Roman times, but it is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Saint Benedict, the founder of Western monasticism. Over the centuries, its strategic location brought both prosperity and challenges, shaping a strong local culture that you can still feel today in its well-preserved walls and historic buildings.

In summer, the fields around the city bloom with wildflowers, especially the famous lentil flowers, creating a truly magical sight.
