A hamlet of central Umbria, a frazione of Trevi: 42°54.1, 12°45.6E. Altitude: 509 m. |
The church of S. Martino and its olive grove; we are looking NW. |
Manciano is one of the frazioni of Trevi, comprising the town of Manciano itself, about 3 km NNE of Trevi, and the surrounding countryside, including among others the remote hamlet of Ponze.
S. Martino, a medieval church dedicated to the patron saint of millers, stands quietly a kilometer or so from the town, up in the hills among the olive groves, at about the upper limit at which olives grow in this part of Italy. [ 1 page, 2 photos, offsite link ] |

S. Stefano is now no more than a ruin, but it must have been a beautiful church; and just conceivably, some good soul, with a lot of work and capital, might give it its second wind. [ 1 page, 4 photos, offsite link ] |

At 900 meters altitude, Ponze is one of the remotest hamlets of Umbria, in a fold of hill on its way up to the higher summits of the Apennines, with a dozen houses, a picnic ground, with a grand if rather wild view of Umbria; and, of course, an old church. [ 2 pages, 6 photos ] |
