Renaissance Painter Pietro Perugino and Lake Trasimeno

This project is one part of a vast programme created to make better use of the cultural and environmental resources of Lago Trasimeno.

Pietro PeruginoThe main goal is to improve the awareness of the masterpieces of art produced at a very important time in the history of the Trasimeno area, and keep them in the context of the area which inspired them and which is represented in an evocative way by Pietro Perugino.

Pietro Vannucci, known as “Il Perugino”, was inspired to paint his celebrated sceneries by what he saw in the area that goes from Città della Pieve towards Lake Trasimeno and the Valdichiana.

In order to truly enjoy these scenes one must follow along the road which goes from Città della Pieve to Paciano, Panicale and Castiglione del Lago, marked by the masterpieces of the Maestro and his School.

It is a particularly sentimental route immersed in a scenery of gently rolling hills with marvellous views of the Lake Trasimeno.
Vannucci did not paint actual landscapes, but the depicted scenes in his masterpieces along this route underline the close relationship between nature and artistic creation. The route also underlines the creation of paintings which can be ascribed to the Tuscan-Roman school of Mannerism.

An all inclusive ticket, available at any one of the ticket sales points, is valid for entrance to all of the points of interest. Those who like to paint themselves, might find out about the techniques of the old masters in the painting class of Julia Sterland at La Rogaia.
