Travel Guide Corciano

A local legend claims that the city would have taken its name from Ulysses's comrade (named Coragino). In any case, an Etruscan necropolis attests to the seniority of this settlement. Like the majority of the cities around, Corciano was a free municipality in 1242 but closely linked to Perugia, which was enriched by trade and handicrafts as evidenced by the «corso Cardinal Rotelli», the main street of the historic centre and the municipal palace (th century), the residence of the Dukes Della Corgna, who had decorated the ceiling of the Council Hall (end). by the th century, by the Zuccari. The Palace of the People's Harbour (th century), the Palace of Prayer and the Commodity, the Coragino Square and the th-century circular wells illustrate the local power of this city and also the attention of Perugia. For amateurs, please note the festival of Corciano, which takes place every year from August 5 th to August 20 th around August th and which represents an opportunity to rediscover the medieval life of the city (with its dishes, music and art competitions).
