The
village of Piegaro rises among forests of oaks on top of a hill along
the oriental side of the Nestore torrent valley.
The development that the center had in middle ages for merit of some
glass work masters from Venice who started here a flourishing activity,
is obvious from the remains of the walls and the defensive towers. The
city today offers the possibility to get inside the green of the umbrian
forests along the paths leading to Monte Petrarvella and Monte Pausillo,
or to visit the close middle age village of Cibottola, once the center
of one of the first Franciscan convents.
Other
places to visit: Castiglion Fosco with its medieval tower, Greppolischieto
with its fortress and the small church of San Lorenzo and Monte
Fallera with its archeological site.
