Macerino is a small and ancient village, 12 kilometres from Acquasparta and 15 from Spoleto, which conserves the medieval charm with its narrow alley. We can find historical information about Macerino dating to 1093 A. C.. The castle was built with the particular form of extended rectangle and in every angle there was a solid tower. This fort was built for residential purposes.
It is immersed in a green vast forest where you can walk, with Macerino as part of Monti Martani Trekking route. There are two neighbourhood Restaurants where they serve authentic Umbrian food, for example truffles, pasta, meat of wild boar, cured pork meats.
