Peter Van Sant takes a look back at the rich history of Perugia, Italy, the city where the murder case of Amanda Knox has been developing for nearly four years.
Perugia, Umbria, Italy
We're taking you to the city of Perugia in Umbria in northern Italy – not so well known as Rome or Florence, but lovely to visit.
Perugia is located 100 miles north of Rome, about a two-hour drive. It's in Umbria, a region just east of the more famous Tuscany.
The main street of Perugia is this grand Corso Vannucci. It's a wide pedestrian boulevard and it's just one of the great streets of the world. Not too long, it's about a kilometer from one end to the other, and just wide enough that there's plenty of room for people streaming along, or stopping and standing and talking, walking the dog, families out for a stroll. It's the gathering place of town. It's the location of the passeggiata when everybody comes out at 5 PM before dinner, buy the newspaper, have a drink, out for a stroll, see their friends, see their neighbors, perhaps make a new friend and just generally be part of the fabric of the city.
The old town has a network of narrow streets that are perfect for strolling. Some of them are for pedestrians only and some have some automobiles but the traffic is never terribly heavy, especially when you're on foot. And the whole town can be seen on foot, it's a compact zone. It makes a beautiful walk.
You'll find a variety of places to go strolling and exploring. Some of them are wide thoroughfares for shopping, others are narrow, that hearken back to the medieval days.
This is a longer more complete video that combines several shorter pieces presented earlier.

In Perugia you can get lost under the ground in the medieval streets. Perugia is the capital city of Umbria and is built on a steep hill. If you go to Perugia by car you can park it at Piazzale Europa. From here you can take the escalators that take you to the old town or Centro Storico. You see if you're on the escalator all around you all the old walls and pieces of images they found. You are there under the former fortress Rocca Paolina. There is still a system of covered medieval streets to find and the Perugians still use them. There are also shops located in the streets ... I found it very special to wander suddenly through covered Middle Ages streets . A special atmosphere ... The streets are well maintained and lit. Unfortunately it was still too dark for my camera and finally there is only one picture worth to look at . At the place where the castle was is now a park with stunning views and some monumental government buildings. Once up, we were suddenly in full sun on the Corso Vannucci. This broad street runs through the center to the Piazza IV Novembre. This is the main square of the city. In the middle of this square is the Fontana Maggiore, built in the thirteenth century. Beside the fountain is the Cathedral. The Palazzo dei Priori in the fourteenth century in Gothic style you can also admire. It is a fine example of Italian architecture and now serves as town hall. If you look at my video you will get an impression of the old town of Perugia ..

Perugia is de hoofdstad van Umbrië en is gebouwd bovenop een steile heuvel. Als je met de auto naar Perugia gaat kun je hem het beste aan de rand van de stad parkeren op het Piazzale Europa. Van hieruit kun je de roltrappen nemen die je naar het oude centrum of centro storico brengen. Je ziet als je op de roltrappen staat overal om je heen hele oude muren en stukken van beelden die zijn gevonden. Je bevindt je daar namelijk onder de voormalige vesting Rocca Paolina. Hier is nog steeds een stelsel van overdekte middeleeuwse straten te vinden waar door de Perugianen nog druk gebruik van wordt gemaakt. Er zijn ook winkeltjes in de straten gevestigd... Ik vond het heel bijzonder om ineens te dwalen door overdekte straten uit de Middeleeuwen. Een bijzonder sfeertje...De straten zijn goed onderhouden en verlicht. Helaas was het er toch te donker voor mijn camera en uiteindelijk is er maar één foto nog een beetje het bekijken waard . Op de plaats waar de burcht was vindt je nu een parkje met prachtig uitzicht en enkele monumentale overheidsgebouwen. Eenmaal boven aangekomen stonden we ineens weer in de volle zon op de Corso Vannucci. Deze brede straat loopt dwars door het centrum tot aan het Piazza IV Novembre. Dit is het belangrijkste plein van de stad. Midden op dit plein staat de Fontana Maggiore, gebouwd in de dertiende eeuw. Naast de fontein staat de Dom. Het Palazzo dei Priori is in de veertiende eeuw gebouwd in gotische stijl en kun je daar ook bewonderen. Het is een prachtig voorbeeld van Italiaanse architectuur en doet nu dienst als gemeentehuis.

Perugia is an Italian city and the capital of the Umbria region. It’s known for its defensive walls around the historic center. The medieval Priori Palace exhibits regional art from the 13th century onward. Looking onto Piazza IV Novembre, the Gothic cathedral houses Renaissance paintings and frescoes. In the square's center, Fontana Maggiore is a marble fountain with carvings of biblical scenes and zodiac signs.
Lifted by a hill above a valley patterned with fields, where the river Tiber runs swift and clear, Perugia is Umbria's petite and immediately likeable capital. Its centro storico (historic centre) rises in a helter-skelter of cobbled alleys, arched stairways and piazzas framed by magnificent palazzi (mansions). History seeps through every shadowy corner of these streets and an aimless wander through them can feel like time travel. Back in the 21st century, Perugia is a party-loving, pleasure-seeking university city, with students pepping up the nightlife and filling cafe terraces. The hopping summer event lineup includes one of Europe's best jazz festivals.
Perugia has an important university that attracts many foreign students, is a major center of medieval art, has a stunningly beautiful central area and is home of the Umbria Jazz Festival. The city is a major producer of chocolates. Perugia is a large hill town. Most major attractions are at the top of the hill in the Centro Storico (historic center). It is almost impossible to access the Centro Storico by car unless you have a confirmed hotel booking. Even outside the very centre you will drive very slowly over the many cobblestoned one-way streets and may very well end up driving around in circles several times as traffic signs are very confusing. You are best advised to do as little driving as possible, and get around on foot. The main car park for tourists is at Piazza Partigiani. From there you can take a series of escalators (hopefully most of them will be working!) up into the old town. There are lots of interesting things to see on the way up as the route was dug through the Rocca Paolina, a medieval citadel.
Undergound Perugia. The escalators from the lower town lead up through the remains of Rocca Paolina which was a 16th-century fortress. This was built on top of medieval streets, which were used as foundations, and before coming out into daylight at Piazza Italia you go through some of these medieval streets covered with brick ceilings when the fortress was built. Little now remains of the fortress itself.
Fontana Maggiore. This large medieval fountain is found between the cathedral and the Palazzo dei Priori. Cathedral of San Lorenzo. This has an unusual layout for Italian churches in that the side rather than the front entrance faces the main square. Palazzo dei Priori (Town Hall), (Opposite the side of the cathedral, with its main entrance on Corso Vannucci).
Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria (National Gallery of Umbria), (in the Palazzo dei Priori on Corso Vannucci). Etruscan Well (''Pozzo Etrusco''), Piazza Danti 18 (To the right, just past the front entrance of the cathedral). San Domenico is on Corso Cavour, down the hill to the southeast of Corso Vannucci. San Pietro. About 600mt further along Corso Cavour after San Domenico, this church and abbey is well filled with fine works of art, including by Perugino.

Perugia, in Umbria, Italy
Perugia, the main city of Umbria, Italy, offers many attractions including lively pedestrian lanes, palaces, art by native son Perugino, an underground city created in the foundations of a Renaissance palace, several universities, excellent hotels and restaurants. Perugia's location in central Umbria is surrounded by other historic towns easily reached by train, bus or car. While nearby Tuscany is more famous, this region of Umbria is a traveler's delight. We take you inside the cathedral and walk the little lanes that lead from one piazza to the next, following the original medieval layout whose roots reach all the way back to the Etruscans 3,000 years ago.
Minimetro Perugia Italien
Eine geniale Lösung hat die italienische Stadt Perugia für die Verkehrsprobleme gefunden: Vom Stadionparkplatz - der sofern nicht gerade ein spiel stattfindet - die meiste Zeit der Woche leer stehen würde, gelangt man mit der Minimetro direkt in die Mitte der historischen Altstadt, die so weitgehend autofrei gehalten werden kann. Die Linie der Minimetrò hat eine Gesamtlänge von 4 km und wurde am 29. Januar 2008, dem Tag des Heiligen Costanzo von Perugia, einem der drei Schutzheiligen von Perugia, eingeweiht. Die Minimetro, gebaut von der Leitner AG, ist ein „People Mover“ und kostete knapp 100 Millionen Euro. Auf freier Strecke werden die Fahrzeuge durch ein endlos umlaufendes Stahlseil gezogen. In den Haltestellen klinken sich die Gondeln aus dem Seilbetrieb aus und werden von seitlich in der Fahrbahn angebrachten Gummirädern abgebremst, bzw. beschleunigt.

PERUGIA AND THE EUROCHOCOLATE
OUR TRAVEL THROUGH ITALY CONTINUES! TODAY WE ARE GOING TO DISCOVER PERUGIA, THE CAPITAL OF UMBRIA, PLACED IN THE GREEN HEART OF ITALY, IN A STUNNING PANORAMIC POINT OF VIEW ON THE SURROUNDING HILLS!
A TOUR OF PERUGIA MUST BEGIN IN 4TH OF NOVEMBER SQUARE, THE HEART OF THE OLD TOWN. HERE YOU FIND THE MAIN ATTRACTIONS OF THE CITY, JUST LIKE THE CATHEDRAL, DEDICATED TO SAINT LORENZ, ONE OF THE SAINT PATRON OF PERUGIA, THE MAJESTIC PALAZZO DEI PRIORI, VANNUCCI STREET, NAMED AFTER ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTISTS WHO WORKED HERE: PIETRO VANNUCCI, BETTER KNOWN AS PERUGINO, AND THE FONTANA MAGGIORE, A MEDIEVAL FOUNTAIN, SYMBOL OF THE CITY OF PERUGIA.
THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING AT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CATHEDRAL FOR MORE THAN 150 YEARS, AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN WHITE AND PINK MARBOL BUT IT WAS PLACED ONLY ON THE LOWER PART OF THE SIDE FAÇADE, THAT’S WHY THE CATHEDRAL IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE “NAKED CHURCH”, AND - SOMETHING CURIOUS - IT’S THE SIDE FAÇADE AND NOT THE FRONT ONE TO OVERLOOK THE SQUARE.
ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF 4TH OF NOVEMBER SQUARE WE FIND THE PALAZZO DEI PRIORI, ONE OF THE BEST MEDIEVAL BUILDINGS IN ITALY. ON THE FAÇADE THERE ARE THE COPIES OF THE BRONZE SCULPTURES OF THE LION AND THE GRIFFIN, THE SYMBOLS OF PERUGIA, THE AUTHENTIC ONES ARE INSIDE THE PALACE BECAUSE THEY ARE THE OLDEST AND BIGGEST MEDIEVAL BRONZE SCULPTURES EVER MADE IN ITALY.
IN THE OLDEST PART OF THE BUILDING THE “SALA DEI NOTARI” IS COVERED IN PRECIOUS FRESCOS, INCLUDING A FRESCO MADE BY PINTURICCHIO.
BUT THE MASTERPIECE YOU CANNOT MISS IS IN THE OLD ROOMS OF THE COLLEGIO DEL CAMBIO: THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK OF PERUGINO IS ONE OF THE MAIN PAINTINGS OF THE 15TH CENTURY. PART OF THE PAINTINGS WERE COMPLETED BY ONE OF HIS PUPILS, RAFFAELLO! THESE FRESCOES WERE DESCRIBED AS ONE OF THE THREE BEST CEILINGS IN THE WORLD!
PERUGIA IS ALSO THE CITY OF CHOCOLATE! THE EUROCHOCOLATE IS THE BIGGEST FESTIVAL IN EUROPE DEDICATED TO CHOCOLATE! 500 YARDS OF STREETS AND SQUARES IN THE HEARTS OF PERUGIA COVERED IN STANDS FULL OF CHOCOLATE!
PERUGINA:
THE HOUSE OF CHOCOLATE EXISTS! AND IT IS FEW MILES FROM THE CITY CENTER OF PERUGIA. IN THIS UNIQUE PLACE YOU CAN DISCOVER HOW THE “FOOD OF THE GODS” IS MADE! IN THE MUSEUM OF THE FACTORY YOU WILL KNOW THE STORY OF CHOCOLATE AND THE STORY OF THE FIRM, OLD MACHINERY, VISITORS ARE BROUGHT IN THE HEART OF THE FACTORY WHERE THEY CAN SEE HOW CHOCOLATE IS WORKED. THEN YOU CAN WALK ON A MULTITUDE OF BARS OF CHOCOLATE OR, TAKE CLASS WITH THE MOST CAPABLE CHOCOLATE HEADMASTERS, AND IF YOU FEEL TIRED YOU CAN SIT AND RELAX ON A FLOOR MADE OF CHOCOLATE PRALINES! STRONG POINT OF THE EXHIBIT IS THE LEGENDARY BACIO PERUGINA: FROM THE BRILLIANT IDEA OF LUISA SPAGNOLI TO THE GUINNES WORLD RECORD BACIO, THE BIGGEST CHOCOLATE PRALINE IN THE WORLD! 7 FEET TALL AND 7,6 FEET WIDE - 13.000 POUNDS OF CHOCOLATE!
ROCCA PAOLINA:
IT IS A FORTRESS BUILT BY AND NAMED AFTER THE POPE PAOLO FARNESE THE 3RD, WHO WANTED TO FORTIFY THE CITY. IN ORDER TO BUILD THE FORTRESS THE POPE WANTED AN ENTIRE DISTRICT OF PERUGIA TO BE DESTROYED, THAT’S WHY THIS FORTRESS BECAME THE ICON OF THE AUTHORITY OF THE POPE, SO IN 1860 IT WAS LARGELY DESTROYED.
NOWADAYS WE CAN SEE A HUGE GATE CALLED PORTA MARZIA AND THE UNDERGROUND FORTRESS, WITH SHOPS, WORKSHOPS, OLD ALLEYS AND HOUSES OF THE MEDIEVAL PERUGIA. THE FORTRESS IS ALSO AN EXHIBITION CENTRE AND IT HOSTS MANY EVENTS.
THE MEDIEVAL ACQUEDUCT OF PERUGIA:
IT IS MORE THAN 2,5 MILES LONG, BUILT IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 13TH CENTURY TO BRING WATER TO THE OLD TOWN. WITHOUT PUMPS BUT JUST WITH A PRESSURIZE DUCT THE WATER COULD REACH THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE HILL, THAT IS THE FONTANA MAGGIORE. THE ACQUEDUCT WAS CAST OFF IN 1835 AND IT WAS CONVERTED INTO A STREET WITH MANY HOUSES, NOWADAYS MAYBE THE MOST SUGGESTIVE STREET IN PERUGIA.
THE WORKSHOP OF GLASSPAINTERS MORETTI CASELLI:
IT WAS FOUNDED BY FRANCESCO MORETTI IN 1895.
YEARS LATER HIS GREAT NEPHEWS ROSA AND CECILIA CARRIED ON THE ACTIVITY. THEY REALIZED MANY STAINED-GLASS WINDOWS, AMONG THOSE THE VERY FAMOUS ONE THAT REPRODUCE LEONARDO DA VINCI’S LAST SUPPER, NOWADAYS EXPOSED IN THE CEMETERY OF GLENDALE, IN LOS ANGELES.
ONE OF ROSA AND CECILIA’S GREAT NEPHEW ORGANIZES INTERESTING GUIDED TOURS IN THIS UNIQUE WORKSHOP WERE PEOPLE CAN PLUNGE INTO HISTORY AND ENJOY AN OLD CRAFT CARRIED ON FOR CENTURIES.
IN THE WORKSHOP THERE ARE STILL OLD TOOLS, COLOURS, PAINTINGS, PLASTERS, FURNACES THAT TESTIFY THE LIFE OF THESE GREAT ARTISTS AND THE REBIRTH OF THIS ANCIENT ART FORM.
ACROSS THE YEARS THESE ARTISTS CREATED MANY PIECES FOR THE CHURCH OF SANTA MARIA DEGLI ANGELI IN ASSISI, MANY STAINED-GLASS WINDOWS FOR THE CATHEDRAL OF PERUGIA AND TODI, WORKS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION OF 1867 IN PARIS, AND THE PORTRAIT OF THE QUEEN MARGHERITA.

PERUGIA OVER ROME | Why Perugia is our favourite Italian city
We stayed in Italy for 3 weeks, basing ourselves in Perugia (right in the centre of Italia when you look on the map) and visiting Florence and Rome for a weekend each.
Perugia was by far and away our favourite though, it's the perfect 'la dolce vita' Italiano experience without the crowds. The food is cheaper, the air is cleaner and the people are lovely. Plus the mini-metro (the cute transport system that gets commuters up the hill) is a big kid magnet! Total novelty every time you ride it.
If you're ever in Italy, don't miss Perugia, plus the big sites like Florence and Rome. Perugia is a hidden gem.

Places to see in ( Perugia - Italy ) Piazza IV Novembre
Places to see in ( Perugia - Italy ) Piazza IV Novembre
Piazza IV Novembre is located in the historic center of Perugia , and as Serafino Siepi wrote , it is the most beautiful and most ancient square in the city, central to it. The asymmetric square opens up to the convergence of the five road axes that structure the medieval city and for its scenography has represented in every age the privileged place of urban functions: here was placed the ancient forum and there are preserved monuments connected to the plant urban planning of the Etruscan-Roman city.
Formerly the site of the ancient Roman Forum , it became the converging fulcrum in the High Middle Ages and the starting point for the five main city streets, the Gifts Streets. In the tenth century the Episcopal see was transferred to the new temple of San Lorenzo, and the square has qualified as a representative space for political and religious power, a role confirmed later by the establishment of the municipal government buildings.
The current structure is that defined with the restructuring of the Platea Comunis or Magna (space between the cathedral and today's Piazza della Repubblica ), commissioned by the municipality and implemented between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, according to a specific urban project aimed at redevelop the city acropolis, the fulcrum of the collective life of the municipal society. The intervention focused on the enlargement of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and on the construction of the Palazzo dei Priori . The square changed its appearance in 1591 when the papal legate Domenico Pinellithere opened a new and wider access road (the current Via Calderini). The urban scene is characterized by the natural slopes of the land and on the square overlook the major city monuments.
At the center of the square is the Fontana Maggiore , the urban and visual center of the square. Work of the second half of the '200 by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano for the design and decoration, with the technical and architectural collaboration of Fra Bevignate and, for the hydraulic part, of Boninsegna Veneziano . The decorations evoke, in the complex iconological message, the political and cultural program of the Perugian Commune.
On the square, high on a flight of steps, you can admire the side of the cathedral of San Lorenzo showing off the precious pink marbles. The travertine portal is by Ippolito Scalza, designed by Galeazzo Alessi . The above- mentioned aedicule houses a crucifix by Polidoro Ciburri placed in 1540, emblem of the resistance of Perugia in the Salt War against Pope Paul III . On the left of the portal there is a bronze statue of Pope Julius III created by Vincenzo Danti , while on the right side stands a precious fifteenth-century pulpit, known as San Bernardino da Siena, from which the holy man preached many times in 1425 and 1427.
On the opposite side stands the Palazzo dei Priori , an impressive example of Gothic architecture. The articulation of the volumes, the asymmetries and the irregularity of the system, highlight the long construction phase, which lasted from 1293-97 to 1443, and the use of pre-existing building structures. The building is home to the Municipality of Perugia and the National Gallery of Umbria . The fan steps go up to a large portal that gives access to the Sala dei Notari . At the top, resting on shelves, they place the copies of the griffin griffin and the Guelph lion, the two symbols of the city, whose originals are inside the building. The Palazzo dei Priori, extends along Corso Vannucci , and on the ground floor there is the hall of theCollegio della Mercanzia and the Collegio del Cambio .

Places to see in ( Perugia - Italy ) Corso Vannucci
Corso Vannucci is the main street of Perugia . The street, named after Pietro Vannucci , a painter born in Città della Pieve and famous with the name Il Perugino , develops between imposing and important palaces: Palazzo dei Priori (on the ground floor the Collegio del Cambio , frescoed by Perugino , and the Collegio della Mercanzia ), Palazzo dei Notari (15th century), Casa di Baldo degli Ubaldi (15th century), church of sant'Isidoro (deconsecrated), Palazzo Donini (1716).
The artery starts from Piazza IV Novembre and ends in Piazza Italia. Various streets and alleyways depart from the course: via Fani, via Mazzini and via Danzetta link it with piazza Matteotti , after the evocative via dei Priori intersects with the medieval alleys via Scura, via della Luna and via delle Streghe. Before Piazza Italia the course is finally intersected by Via Bonazzi and Via Forte.
Corso Vannucci, often called the Salotto Buono of Perugia , is characterized by a strong vitality and dynamism ( making a tub , in Perugian dialect, is equivalent to saying take a walk in Corso Vannucci), and alongside historical activities such as the Pasticceria Sandri , there are bars, theaters, bookshops, shops and boutiques of any kind. Halfway through the intersection with Via dei Priori, we note the entrance to the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria .
The construction of the upper part of Perugia began in the Etruscan period . The course joins the Colle del Sole to the Landone hill, whose depression has been filled according to ancient engineering works. In the Middle Ages the course expanded to the current Piazza Matteotti, including it in itself. The ancient plan of the historic center of Perugia , in the shape of a star, was characterized by five doors reachable in the vicinity of this important route. The course never lost its prominent position, even during the pontifical domination . With the annexation of Umbria to the Kingdom of Italy in 1861 , the renewed Piazza Italia, seat of the institutions of the Region and Province, strengthened its centrality. From the second half of the twentieth century the course was completely pedestrianized.

Perugia is the capital city of both the region of Umbria in central Italy, crossed by the river Tiber, and of the province of Perugia. It covers a high hilltop and part of the valleys around the area.
PerugiaMore well-known, though, is old Perugia, surrounded by two perimeter walls. The exterior of the two, from the Medieval Age, remains intact over an expanse of a few kilometers, and along it one encounters several different entrances or portals, including the Cassero di Porta Sant’Angelo. The interior wall is the Etruscan perimeter (the Etruscans built seven different portals through which to enter), characterized by the large masses used in its construction. Nevertheless, not many monuments dating back to this ancient epoch actually remain, and most of the older urban core that is still extant harks back to the Middle Ages.
The historic center, in fact, is a certified 14th-Century borgo, and one of the prettiest in Italy.
