The first hill town we visited was Corciano, you get there by way of Perugia, and then go up. There were five little hill towns in the area, but this was the only one we got to. We came down from the hill and then Circumnavigated lake Trasimeno, where the Romans lost an army to Hannibal in 217BC. Ed, our resident expert on Roman history, was intent on seeing the Lake, and we had gotten a rather late start. Also, since it was Sunday, the town (and presumably the others as well) was pretty much closed up, no restaurants open, and only a single cafe, which was about to close for the afternoon. But the views and buildings were absolutely lovely. All the hill towns we visited were very clean and very well maintained. We theorized that all the living space has been bought up by rich Italians. If I were a rich Italian I would love to live in such a place. |
