• Introduction to Spoleto by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 Spoleto is a split-level town, a sleepy repository of Roman ruins and medieval buildings terraced from the valley floor up a high hill backed by the deep-green forested slopes of a sacred mountain. It springs dramatically to life toward the end of June when the festival hits town. Dreamed up in 1958 by the Italian-American composer Gian Carlo Menotti, the Spoleto Festival (formerly known as the Festival dei Due Mondi/Festival of Two Worlds) brings heavy-duty culture to Spoleto in the form of music, dance, and theater showcased by premier Italian and international performers. The celebration of modern works, both conservative and experimental, draws thousands of visitors annually. (read article)
