Bevagna: the plaza of the Middle Ages
A visit in the historical centre of Bevagna, one of the most beautiful medieval squares
It's possible to confirm that the human
being has lived in Bevagna for a long time, like the picked testimonies
and the archaeological rests shows. But it's just in Roman epoch that the
installation conquers a notable importance, thanks to the passage of important
streets of communication. The Middle Ages is instead a tormented period for the
city, where to the fires and the destructions they follow constructions and
reconstructions. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that determined the
unpredictable form that during the centuries Piazza Silvestri has
assumed, a real monument to the creative disorder. The whole history of Bevagna
is written in the stones of its city speaking us about sequence of generations,
people, styles, churches, buildings and monuments that today assume a precise
meaning to our opinion, thanks to the supreme harmony arrived to deposit its
past.
