This ancient town is best known as the birth place of Pietro Vannucci, known as
'Il Perugino', a local painter of frescoes of great note, and several of his works can be seen in Città della Pieve.
In recent years the production of saffron has been reinstated for the spice trade and also for use in art and fabrics.
What sort of gelato do you have when you visit Città della Pieve? Zafferano, of course!
Being Thursday it was music in the piazza night in Panicale. As usual we had a table at Il Gallo nel Pozzo with a good view and enjoyed an extremely tasty meal and an evening of popular folk indie music. All five eating establishments were kept extremely busy and tourists and locals alike enjoy these evenings.
