The ancient via Flaminia
One of the largest linear archaeological

The ancient "Via Flaminia" passes through the whole Umbria Region. It was built in 220 B. C. by Consul Caius Flaminius.
From a strategic standpoint, the ancient "Via Flaminia" was one of the most important consular roads, as it represented the main connection artery to the Roman Empire north of Rome. It was 200 Roman mile long, and guaranteed fast connection to the North-East and North-West, both thanks to its high-quality and straight track, and for the technical solutions adopted, including bridges, monuments, "viaducts", and "sostruzioni".

This roads makes up an extraordinary network, consisting of its "diverticula", the historical ruins located along the way, as well as the "cities of art" disseminated throughout the Umbria Region (including Assisi, Gubbio, Spoleto, Spello, Bevagna, etc.).

The Umbria Region intends to enhance such heritage, by utilising the present vocation of the Region as a place for the development and testing of innovating technologies in the fields of communication and multimedia and, thanks to the CMM (Multimedia Centre), it can enhance the local heritage, by setting up a network through a strong and effective but environmentally sustainable approach.
