Todi is still surrounded by medieval, Roman and Etruscan walls and is a quite a small town, full of famous monuments, such as the amazing medieval Piazza del Popolo and the Renaissance Consolazione Church (project attributed to Donato Bramante). Todi is famous for the artistic craftsmanship, its genuine food, its strong wines such as Grechetto di Todi and for its warm hospitality.
