Places and products of excellence in Umbria, Italy
> The village of Armenzano is located in a small hillside hamlet of Assisi known above all for the traditional nativity scene of the Christmas period and as a destination for excursions by mountain bike or on foot along the paths of the Monte Subasio Park. Few know, however, the past of this medieval castle of strategic importance, land of continuous disputes between Spello and Assisi, as well as the last bastion of feudalism in the communal era.

> Il borgo di Armenzano è situato in una piccola frazione collinare di Assisi nota soprattutto per il tradizionale presepe vivente del periodo natalizio e come meta per escursioni in mountain bike o a piedi lungo i sentieri del Parco del Monte Subasio. Pochi conoscono, invece, il passato di questo medievale castello di poggio di importanza strategica, terreno di continue contese tra Spello e Assisi, nonché ultimo baluardo del feudalesimo in epoca comunale.
