PERUGIA & ITS HIDDEN TREASURES
Enjoy a nice walking tour of the historical town of Perugia.
After having seen the main works of art offered by the city, visit one of the oldest and most important artistic glass workshop in Umbria. Discover the technique used to process the precious glass which goes back to the Byzantine art. Meet the artist and her two young daughters, who have an incredible passion for this particular way of glass processing. Their family has been working the glass for more than 200 years.
This workshop’s artistic creations can be seen in many of the most important buildings of the surroundings, such as the Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli in Assisi, the Cathedral of Orvieto and Perugia.
Afterwards we will enjoy a private light lunch at Mrs. Spagnoli´s house.
Federica Spagnoli belongs to an historical family of entrepreneurs of the 20th century. Federica is Luisa Spagnoli´s nephew, the founder of the most important Italian chocolate´s factory, “Perugina”.
It will be very pleasant to have a cozy lunch at a Spagnoli family member´s home!
