Signorelli Itinerary in Umbria

Signorelli's masterpieces in Umbria. An inspiration for Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and an unsuspected Freud.

Luca Signorelli, born in Cortona in 1441, was praised by Giorgio Vasari as “a person of excellent manners, sincere and loving with friends, and of sweet and pleasant conversation with everyone, and above all courteous to anyone who needed his work and easy in teaching his disciples (...)” Signorelli worked in Umbria at different stages of his artistic career, leaving wonderful works in several Umbrian cities.
