Panicale (Umbria)

Panicale is an ancient medieval town in the province of Perugia, in Italy. Located on the eastern slope of Mount Petrarvella, in the southeast of Valdichiana, it overlooks Lake Trasimeno and it is about 35 km far from Perugia. In the heart of the historical center, in Piazza Umberto I, there is a fountain whose construction in travertine dates back to 1473, and was the ancient cistern of the country which also extended under the piazza. Certainly deserve a visit the Collegiate Church of San Michele Arcangelo, the Castle of Montalera and the Museum of the Tulle, entitled to Anita Belleschi Grifoni.

Hi, I'm looking for some accurate information regarding the bus from Orvieto to Bagnoregio. I've tried the Cotral website, but the search never works for me. I found an typed schedule from a blog, but have no idea if it is still current or accurate.

Ciao tutti.  We have a home in Umbria, and I would like to know if you need solar energy to operate your pool?  We do not have a heated pool and are not interested in installing solar panels due to the cost.  Currently we have 4 solar panels and 6 batteries that have been there since we purchased

I am trying to find my Italian roots.  I have documents for my grandfather but I want to find his parents and grandparents.
