Città della Pieve: authentic beauty between Umbria and Tuscany
Suspended between sky and earth, on the harmonious border between two lands of art, Città della Pieve welcomes the travellers of the 1000 Miglia with its authentic, timeless charm. An unspoilt medieval village perched on a hill between Lake Trasimeno and the Valdichiana, it offers spectacular views and a gentle pace of life rooted in nature and culture.
This is where Pietro Vannucci, known as Il Perugino, Raphael’s teacher, was born: his enchanting landscapes are the living backdrop to a city that speaks of art in every corner. Treasures such as the Adoration of the Magi and the Baptism of Christ enrich a well-preserved historic centre, where the famous Vicolo Baciadonne, one of the narrowest streets in Italy, stands out as a symbol of playful and sincere hospitality.
The culinary tradition seduces with intense aromas and authentic flavours, first and foremost saffron, the precious flower of the Pieve area.
Città della Pieve is not just a leg of the race: it is an emotion that stays with you. Discovering it means coming into contact with the purest soul of the Italian lifestyle, as National Geographic wrote. This is why it continues to enchant artists, actors, sportsmen and travellers from all over the world.
Here, every bend is beauty. Every stop is a wonder.
