From Panicale, we set off along the Trasimeno route towards Città della Pieve. Having passed the historic centre, the route climbs slightly among olive trees until it enters a forest of oak and chestnut trees, at the end of which it reveals the village of Paciano.

This small medieval hilltop village is a treasure trove of architectural works enclosed by 14th-century walls. After a visit to Piazza Matteotti, the route continues along white roads surrounded by greenery. The last section of the itinerary, an open and undemanding route, ends with the arrival in Città della Pieve.

Known for being the birthplace of the famous Renaissance painter, Pietro Vannucci, known as Perugino, this red-brick village is home to notable monuments of historical and cultural interest.
