The best museums Umbria

The Olive and Oil Museum informs about this other world, relatively parallel to that of wine, and on a approchante idea. From the first mortars to the active press in the centre of the museum, the museum route shows the daily life and customs and customs of the people. It is through this cross-cutting topic that you will learn new things about medicine and food, sport or even cosmetics, the sources of heating and especially as a significant element of a popular imagination that has attributed to the plant and the products derived from its fruit - and partly still attributes - symbolic, propitiatoires and healers values. A museum very "nourishing".

The world of wine exists. It passes through ancient times to arrive until today. Through broques cycladic and vases; Greek, Etruscan and Roman ceramics, as well as glasses and bronzes, thanks to technical tools and equipment for winemaking and winemaking, we discover and appreciate the importance of wine in the collective imagination of the different peoples who inhabited the Mediterranean basin and continental Europe over the centuries. Very interesting and trainer.

It reproduces with genuine domestic and working objects, the typical housing of the pre-industrial period. Also remarkable, the ancient "Spedale" of the village, which keeps a 1494 fresco attributed to Andrea of Assisi says the Innocent. A little further away is the tower of the Porte Sainte-Marie, the emblem of Corciano, built in 1482, followed by a beautiful walk on the ancient walls, where one can admire two Romanesque sculptures representing lions.

The church of Saint-François, Gothic contains various works of art, including a th-century crucifix, a canvas of Flag, a statue of Bernardin Saint Bernardin, and a work of Caporali, in addition to frescoes of the school of Umbria and Siena dating from the th and th centuries.
