The small Montegabbione town, which is usually omitted from the most obvious tourist
itineraries, is a simple village which owns its identity, as do the small towns of the
surrounding area, to the Medieval Period. It is situated at the highest altitude when
compared to the other villages, showing, with good probabability, that the founding of
Montegabbione was a calculated thought in response to the need of a sighting post along the
boundary between Orvieto and Città della Pieve. Furthermore, its position allowed to control
the road leading from Città della Pieve toward Todi.
