Allerona (472m, 1866 from) is a quaint town surrounded by woods, that preserves the structure of the old medieval castle from which originated the residential area. The castle was an important bulwark of Orvieto, undertaken to curb the expansionist ambitions of Chiusi.
Along the stretch of road that connects Allerona Orvieto you can admire the ruins of Ponte Giulio, rebuilt by Pope Julius II in place of an earlier medieval bridge.

The most beautiful car receives a prize at the end of the event.
