URBANISTIC PROFILE

If I had to analyse Lizori from a restorer’s point of view, I couldn’t help noticing the peculiar characteristics that qualify it as territorial restoration, both for the speed of the work, and for the style of management.
Until three years ago, the Castle lay in an abandoned state, its people preferring to live in new houses in the nearby valley. The data regarding the area have strong similarities with other neglected sites, both in Umbria an in Italy: a decreasing ans ageing population, with few young and active inhabitants. Such thing is quite typical in small centres, where companies and firms have been installed.

LIZORI, HEART OF UMBRIA

“Green and holy” Umbria, the old image that invokes a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of serene landscapes with medieval traces of walls, strict architecture and vast population on the territory. Places close to one another and yet separated mark the countryside and remind us of Renaissance paintings.
Umbria is the only Italian region that is not on the sea, and it has a colourful and varied landscape, marked by man’s intervention.
The dominant characteristic of the landscape is its hills, even if the mountains to the East are not more than 1500 metres high.
The broad valley of the Tiber (between Città di Castello and Perugia) and then the Valle Umbra, through which the Chiascio, Topino and Clitunno rivers flow, divide the region into two areas. Parallel ranges of hills to the East and West meet with lake Trasimeno in the North, drawing an arch.
Home and cradle of superior artistic production during the Humanism and the Renaissance (consider the masterpieces painted by Cimabue, Giotto and many others), this region has always had an important role in the cultural and spiritual panorama all over the world. Umbria, and Assisi in particular, represent a meeting point for many religious people (not just Christians) not necessarily connected with the Roman Church.
In terms of economics, the image of the “green and holy” Umbria has been flanked by the image of commercial and economical capacity of its inhabitants. Evidence of their entrepreneurial activity can be seen in the many firms and companies close to agricultural areas, which flank the main roads.

lizori

Lizori (whose etymology is “where life shows”) is a unique place, because it concretely witnesses and expresses the best humanistic (natural, cultural and social) environment that man needs.


Located on Mount Revaglioso, in green Umbria, central Italy, Lizori has an ever increasing scientific and artistic vitality, and it is the forerunner of the highest values for mankind.
Leading exponent and creator of this humanistic culture, called Ontopsychology, is the Academician Professor Antonio Meneghetti, whose ongoing study of human beings has made of this medieval village the heart of a worldly humanistic culture. Lizori is also the head office of many important international scientific organisations connected with the UN.
Professor Antonio Meneghetti has directed all the restorations and recovery of the village, without the aid of government or corporate sponsorship, because all the financing for the works were made thanks to the contributions of the inhabitants of the village, who are professionals, entrepreneurs, artists and scientists.

Lizori è un Borgo Medioevale che riunisce in sé la storia di più di duemila anni. E’ situato tra distese di ulivi e vitigni nel crinale del Monte Revaglioso, in prossimità delle Fonti del Clitunno, tra Spoleto e Foligno. E’stato recuperato integralmente grazie al Professor Antonio Meneghetti e al contributo di privati che ne hanno mantenuto l’architettura e l’urbanistica . Lizori è stato spesso cornice di manifestazioni culturali e gastronomiche, con degustazione ed esposizione di prodotti biologici di alta qualità in virtù della filosofia e degli aspetti che presentano in comune.
In assenza di eventi turistico-culturali , i prodotti tipici possono essere gustati presso il ristorante Camesena.
Il ristorante è stato studiato per dare valore e risalto alla soggettività della persona che, stando in questo luogo, sente un benessere in tutto il suo organismo.
L'atmosfera, gli elementi chimici e botanici, la posizione luminosa, gli alberi, l'acqua, convergono in una proporzione che per il nostro organismo umano è particolarmente funzionale.
Lo staff del ristorante Camesena attua un servizio di mediazione alle esigenze del cliente esplicitando la funzione del servizio per l'unicità del cliente, ma coniuga anche antichità e modernismo, proponendo un menù composto da ricette medioevali e prodotti che crescono liberamente lungo le vie e nelle campagne del borgo.
