Perugino 2023
Perugino 2023 is a platform entirely dedicated to the painter Pietro di Cristoforo Vannucci better knwon as "Perugino", realized on the occasion of the celebrations for the 500th anniversary of his death. The great Umbrian Renaissance Master, born in Città della Pieve, was a pupil of Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence and had the opportunity to meet artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo. He then returned to his homeland, where he influenced the art of the young Raphael.Santa Maria dei Servi
Città della Pieve
Located just outside the walls of Città della Pieve, the former church of Santa Maria dei Servi now houses the Civic - Diocesan Museum of the city. This place houses, among the remarkable works of art and sculpture, the fresco with the Deposition from the Cross and the fragment of another fresco depicting the Lamentation of Christ. Both these masterpieces were executed by Perugino in 1517.
Palazzo della Corgna
Città della Pieve
The imposing palace, built in the second half of the sixteenth century in the historic center of Città della Pieve to a design by the architect Galeazzo Alessi, shows all the greatness of the patrons, the powerful Della Corgna family. Thanks to the large rooms frescoed by Pomarancio, the building is the perfect place to host virtual exhibitions dedicated to Perugino, as well as "real" ones.
Santuario della Madonna delle Lacrime
Trevi
Everything begins with a miraculous event: in 1485 a fresco depicting the Virgin with the Child begins to tear drops of blood. It was soon decided to build a sanctuary to preserve the precious painting; the construction of the church-sanctuary dedicated to Our Lady of Tears started in 1488.
Perugino, in 1522, year of completion of the place of worship, was commissioned with the realization of the monumental Adoration of the Magi, still on site inside the important sanctuary of Trevi.
Oratorio della Nunziatella
Foligno
The Oratorio della Nunziatella is dedicated to a fundamental event reported by the Gospel, the Annunciation of Mary, whose fresco representation is linked to a prodigious and mysterious miracle occurred in Foligno in 1489.
Pietro Vannucci, for this small but very important place of worship, realizes the Baptism of Christ, still placed in the niche that constitutes the Chapel of Saint John the Baptist.
