Cerreto di Spoleto is an Italian village and comune of the province of Perugia in Umbria. It is a dispersed, rural community with 1,158 inhabitants spread over 8 frazioni. Its claim to fame is to be the root of the English term “charlatan”, as Cerreto was once widely known for the quacks among its natives.
Ponte di Cerreto is a village of about 200 inhabitants about a mile south of Cerreto. Though now insignificant, Ponte was once an important defensive outpost overlooking the first bridge over the Nera River. The counts of Celano built a fortress at this site, which has not survived.
Today, the village is best known for the 12th-century Romanesque abbey church of Santa Maria: the facade includes a very good rose window, and the interior is notable for preserving the architect’s sketch of that window, engraved on one of the walls of the nave. Among the frescoes is an almost equally rare depiction of the Trinity as a three-headed man.
