In the lands of Perugino

Luca Signorelli's presence in Umbria is alive in his works. For those visiting the region, an itinerary from the small village of Citerna to Orvieto rediscovers one of the greatest interpreters of Renaissance painting.

Built between 1452 and 1457 within the new wing of the Priori Palace, it was home for the guild of the currency changers. 

Benozzo Gozzoli, pupil of Lorenzo Ghiberti and Beato Angelico, is one of the main Italian Renaissance painters; he left in Umbria precious traces of his art by giving us masterpieces that reflect all the genius of the artist.

There is a pearl of rare beauty in Montefalco, which, together with Sagrantino wine, makes this village unique: it is the church of San Francesco built between 1335 and 1338 by the Friars Minor and transformed into a museum in 1990, along with rooms of the adjoining convent.
