Bevagna is a town and comune in the central part of the Italian province of Perugia (Umbria), in the flood plain of the Topino river.
Bevagna is 25 km (15 mi) SE of Perugia, 8 km west of Foligno, 7 km north-north-west of Montefalco, 16 km south of Assisi and 15 km (9 mi) north-west of Trevi.
It has a population of c. 5,000, with the town of Bevagna proper accounting for about half of that.
The city was originally an Etrusco-Oscan settlement. Around 80-90 BC it became a Roman municipium, called Mevania, in the Augustan Regio VI. It lay on the western branch of the Via Flaminia, 13 km (8 mi) WSW of Forum Flaminii, where the branches rejoin. It is mentioned on several ancient itineraries, following the Vicus Martis Tudertium on the way out of Rome.
In 310 BC the consul Fabius broke the Umbrian forces here; but otherwise it is not mentioned until the 1st century AD. In 69 the army of Vitellius awaited here the advance of Vespasian.
Pastures near the Tinia river and the white oxen of the Clitumnus River (the modern Clitunno) are mentioned by Propertius, whose family was from the area (from Assisium, Hispellum, or Mevania itself): they may refer to Mevania. Mevania is specifically mentioned by the later writers Silius Italicus, Lucan and Statius.
Mevania is a genus of moths in the family Arctiidae.
Everybody's talkin
I can't hear what they say
But i can tell cause their lips move
It's like i'm sleep walkin
I try to feel my way
But nobody wants to let me through
And i won't say the answer staring me right in the face
But i know it's time i make my own mistakes
You know i'm finally free
I'm taking the lead
And i don't have to listen to anybody
I'm my own united state
I make the rules
So if i lose
I don't have to answer to anybody
Tell me i should play it safer
Welcome to my world
Why are you so nervous
And so concerned
I'm not a rebel just because
There comes a time when you trust
In everything you've learned
The way that my soul finally does
Well i've got to find out where it goes even if i lose
my way
Till i find the road that i'm supposed to take
You know i'm finally free
I'm taking the lead
And i don't have to listen to anybody
I'm my own united state
I make the rules
So if i lose
I don't have to answer to anybody
Tell me i should play it safer
It's so brand new
I've got to do what i want to do
You know i'm finally free
I'm taking the lead
And i don't have to listen to anybody
I'm not gonna hit the brakes
I make the rules
So if i lose
I don't have to answer to anybody
