Ok today I want to share with you something of my lovely hometown: TErni, first it is situated in Umbria that is called the green heart of Italy, there are important places as the church of saint Valentine , every 14th of february there is a big open market.
if you search Terni on web this is a description of it: Terni is known as the “city of lovers”, thanks to Saint Valentine’s remains kept in the Basilica dedicated to him. He is also the local Patron Saint. Also a must see are the gothic church of Saint Francis and the archaeological sites such as the ones of the Fausto Amphitheatre (dating back to 32 B.C.) inside the Urban park “La passeggiata” and the remains of the ancient walls. In the town there are many remarkable buildings: Palazzo Spada today the town hall, Palazzo Fabrizi and Palazzo Carrara, just to mention a few.

The gates of St. Angelo and Spoletina, the cathedral crypt, the Romanesque tower of Barbarasa and the tower dei Castelli are all legacies left by the middle ages.
Outside Terni, other monuments are well worth a visit. Among them the Orvieto Cathedral, the archaeological site of Carsulae and the town of Amelia of very ancient origins (3rd century B.C.), the ancient town of Narni, which became a Latin settlement in 299 B.C. and then an important Roman town called Narnia. It was once one of the most important Roman road junctions.
On the left bank of the Tiber Otricoli still has the remains of still its Roman walls. The nearby lake of Piediluco is an alluvial basin, lying among the lovely Umbrian hills. The town is overlooked by a medieval fortress that dominates the surrounding landscape. Not to be missed are Marmore’s Falls, formed over the centuries, by travertine deposits. There are many museums to visit in this province: the “Aurelio De Felice” Museum of Contemporary and Modern Art (Terni), the Antiquarium in Baschi, and the National Archaeological Museum in Orvieto.
