municipality
Straddling the Amerino and Orvieto districts, set on the western slope of Mount Croce di Serra, Montecchio dominates the Tiberina valley from the height of its noble appearance as a medieval settlement that rightfully places it among the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy.
origins
The center is built on the mount (=monticulus) and it has so much history to tell, certainly the history of the Copium trading outpost located on the left side of the Tiber active from the 7th-6th centuries B.C. to the 1st-2nd centuries A.D. is all the more ancient.

what to see
A visit to Montecchio can only start with a tour of the historic center, the Umbro-Etruscan Necropolis is not that far away, and the path that encircles the San Lorenzo stream is a unique sight to walk. A little farther away is the hamlet of Tenaglie starting place of the Silent Villages Trail. Further away and spaced from the mountain of the same name is the hamlet of Melezzole.
territory
Located within the Amerini Trails complex and the starting base, in Tenaglie, of the Cammino dei Borghi Silenti, Montecchio is the home of trekking and outdoor experiences.
