Perugia and its territory
Perugia, for its geographic position and for its administrative
and political role, it has always attracted the handicraftsmen
from the surrounding territories and from the rest of the
region. In the city strong corporations have always guaranteed
to the community, from the Middle Ages, a certain ease.
The
signs of the wealth of the work are perceptible in the refinement
of the buildings, of the colleges of the Merchandise and
of the Change, of the lodges where were taking place, and
are partly still taking place, the markets. Perugia has
always distinguished itself by the work of the food and
its transformation. In the FATTORIA
DEI COMIGNOLI, firm with biologic cultivations located
with its marvellous 18th century houses on the sweet hills
of Perugia, you can also delight yourself with guided tasting
of wines, oil and biologic products. Remarkable id the refined
production of canvas realised with the old looms, on antique
designs. The work of the wicker is a characteristic of all
the territory with the various villages that have specialised
themselves in certain activities, such as the bottoming
of the chairs in S. Nicolò di Celle. Very diffused
and characteristic, the handicraft firms dedicating themselves
to the production of the hosiery, in particular of refined
clothes in cashmere. If you want to unify the art of cashmere
with the visit of the beautiful 14th century village of
Solomeo, take an holiday to the country farm house IL
MANDOLETO and an evening stay at its restaurant of typical
Umbrian cooking, at the “Locanda di Solomeo”.
