Légende

Clitunno, 1824. The Clitunno, in Antiquity the Clitumnus, is a river in Umbria, Italy. The name is of uncertain origin, but it was also borne by the river god. The Clitunno rises from a spring not far from the ancient Via Flaminia, near the town of Campello sul Clitunno between Spoleto and Trevi. The spring was celebrated as a great beauty spot by the Romans but also by Lord Byron as was the Temple of Clitumnus, which sits on the banks of the river, and which Giles depicts here.
