Another very interesting reference to the premises can be found in the 1798 “Inventory of the tangible assets of the Monastery of the Friars Minor Conventual of the Church of San Francesco”, kept at the Spoleto State Archives, which lists the items contained therein. In fact, this historical document confirms the presence in the building of a well-equipped and functional wine cellar, with vats for crushing grapes and collecting wine, barrels, casks, tubs and an array of other equipment typical of wine production.
Located within the Museum Complex of San Francesco, the well-preserved cellars are an amazing testament to a living connection that has existed in Montefalco since ancient times. It combines art and everyday life, culture and society and has centred around this splendid structure, thanks to the role and activities of the friars over the centuries
