During their long migratory journey, the Lombards came into contact with populations that were very different in terms of culture, traditions and customs. After an initial period in which they remained firmly attached to their own customs, they then began to integrate with the local communities, especially when they settled on ‘Italian’ territory.

In this trek, we will retrace the history of the Spoleto Lombards, who managed to settle as rulers but recovering and reusing what was left by the Roman civilisation. Tales of their food traditions, textile techniques and architecture will guide us on a fascinating plunge into history, to one of the favourite and most representative places of the Longobard elites where, in collaboration with the ‘Italia Langobardorum’ Association and the National Festival of Italian Sweets, we will immerse ourselves in the flavours and colours of the Longobard Duchy of Spoleto.
