        San Costanzo’s Torcolo

        The typical sweet of the tradition to celebrate San Costanzo is, in fact, the Torcolo, behind which there are many legends and mysteries related to the Saint that still today make this sweet full of charm and history.

        In fact, it is handed down that the torcolo is in the shape of a donut to remember the crown and flowers that were placed on the body of the Saint after the decapitation or even that the hole represents the severed head of the Saint and lastly that its donut shape refers to the crown paraded from the head of the Saint once he was beheaded. That’s why a dessert studded with colored candies, in memory of the precious stones of the color! The five cuts on the donut are, however, attributable to the access doors to the five districts of the historic center of Perugia: Porta San Pietro, Porta Sole, Porta Eburnea, Porta Susanna, and Porta Sant’Angelo.

        The torcolo di San Costanzo, despite the great importance it holds during the feast of January 29, is a dessert that is now enjoyed in Umbria throughout the year!

        Let’s see the Recipe:

        Ingredients:
        600 g of flour
        330 g of warm water
        170 g of sugar
        85 g of extra virgin olive oil
        1 egg
        85 g of butter
        25 g of brewer’s yeast
        170 g of candied citron
        170 g of sultana raisins
        170 g of pine nuts
        anise seeds to taste

        Method:
        Arrange the flour on a pastry board, or in a bowl, crumble the yeast in the center and begin to knead with the warm water, gradually collecting the flour from the edges. Once the dough is homogeneous and well blended, let it rest and rise for about 2 hours in a warm, dry place.

        Once the leavening is complete, turn the dough over (it should double) onto the work surface, spreading it slightly with the palm of your hand and add the butter cut into small pieces (room temperature), the sugar and the oil. Once the ingredients are mixed, add the diced candied citron, the raisins, the pine nuts, anise to taste. Knead it until all the candied fruit and dried fruit are well blended, form the donut and put it in a buttered cake pan to let it rise for about 3 hours.

        After the last leavening, brush the surface of the Torcolo with egg yolk and make 5 light cuts with the tip of the knife.

        Bake in a preheated oven at 180° for about 45 minutes.

        Recommended pairing: Vernaccia di Cannara or Umbrian Vinsanto.

                Perugia in one day: a journey through art, history and flavours

                Do you only have one day to visit Perugia?

                Don’t worry: with our advice, you will live an unforgettable experience in the heart of Umbria. This city, rich in history, art and culinary traditions, is the perfect destination for a getaway dedicated to beauty and taste.

                Morning: discovering the historic center
                Your adventure begins in Piazza IV Novembre, the nerve center of Perugia. Admire the magnificent Fontana Maggiore, one of the most beautiful medieval works of art in Italy, and the evocative Cathedral of San Lorenzo, with its interior rich in history and spirituality.

                Right next to the Cathedral in the Cloister, you can access Perugia Sotterranea, it will be like taking a real journey through the centuries. This experience, little known even by the people of Perugia themselves, allows you to visit the submerged world of the city of Perugia, and learn about the various stratifications: from the Etruscans, through the Romans and the papal settlement, up to the current conformation of the city center.

                Also in Piazza IV Novembre, you will find the majestic Palazzo dei Priori, which houses the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria.

                Here you can admire masterpieces by artists such as Perugino, Raphael’s teacher, and Pinturicchio. If you love art and history, this is an essential stop.

                Lunch: authentic Umbrian flavors
                For lunch, immerse yourself in the local gastronomic tradition. A typical trattoria is the ideal place to enjoy dishes such as umbricelli with black truffle or torta al testo, a focaccia filled with cured meats and cheeses. If you prefer something more rustic, a platter of local products and a glass of wine will give you an authentic taste of Umbria.

                Afternoon: a journey through the past and views
                In the afternoon, visit the evocative Rocca Paolina, a true underground city built in the 16th century by order of Pope Paul III. Walking through its underground alleys will be like reliving the Perugia of the Renaissance.

                Then, stroll along the Corso Vannucci, the main street of the city, full of shops, cafes and artisan workshops. Here you can buy unique souvenirs, such as hand-painted ceramics, artisanal fabrics or the famous Perugina chocolate.

                Take a break. We recommend that you taste the food of the gods in one of our chocolate shops in the historic center.

                Before ending the day, stop at Giardino Carducci, a perfect place to relax and enjoy a breathtaking view of the Umbrian valley. From here, the sunset offers magical colors that will remain in your heart.

                Contact us to discover every hidden corner, organizing personalized tours, culinary experiences and activities that will make your trip unforgettable.

                Umbria in Fiction

                L’Umbria da Fiction
                Benvenuti in Umbria, nel cuore verde dell’Italia, una Regione che incanta con la sua bellezza naturale e il suo fascino storico. Ma c’è qualcosa di magico nell’Umbria che va oltre i suoi paesaggi mozzafiato e le sue città medievali: è il luogo dove la magia del cinema e della televisione prende vita!
                In questo viaggio cinematografico, esploreremo i luoghi incantati dell’Umbria che sono servito da sfondo per film e fiction, portando sullo schermo la ricchezza della sua cultura e della sua storia.

                Città della Pieve e “CARABINIERI”
                Città della Pieve caratterizzata dai suoi edifici in mattoni rossi e situata al confine tra l’Umbria e la Toscana, è stata forse la prima location in Umbria a fare da sfondo per avvincenti inseguimenti tra criminali e carabinieri, nella Fiction “Carabinieri” e che ha fatto da trampolino di lancio nella carriera da attori come Manuela Arcuri, Martina Colombari, Lorenzo Crespi…
                La caserma dei carabinieri è stata collocata in via Maddalena 34 in un istituto tecnico.
                Il celebre Bar Pippo, frequentato dai protagonisti della fiction, si trova invece in Piazza Matteotti, ed è ancora oggi attivo.

                Assisi e “CHE DIO CI AIUTI
                Assisi è stata la protagonista delle ultime stagioni della celebre fiction Rai “Che Dio ci aiuti”.
                Girovagando per le strade della città, è possibile identificare gli edifici storici di Assisi che fungono da cornice alle avventure di Suor Angela, interpretata dall’attrice Elena Sofia Ricci, che attraversa il centro storico a bordo del suo ormai iconico pulmino blu. Location delle riprese sono state anche la maestosa Basilica Papale di San Francesco, la Basilica di Santa Chiara e la Cattedrale di San Rufino. Molti dei dialoghi tra Suor Angela e Suor Costanza, interpretata dall’attrice Francesca Chillemi, sono state girate, per esempio, nella chiesetta di San Giacomo de Muro Rupto.

                Perugia e “LUISA SPAGNOLI”
                Perugia
                , la pittoresca capitale dell’Umbria, è stata il set per numerose produzioni cinematografiche e televisive: una tra queste, trasmessa nel 2016, è la serie televisiva dedicata a Luisa Spagnoli (ne avevamo parlato qui), imprenditrice lungimirante e creatrice del marchio di moda che porta il suo nome e del famoso Bacio Perugina, il cioccolatino con la nocciola ideato insieme al marito Francesco Buitoni.
                La scenografia si è sviluppata soprattutto in piazza IV Novembre, tra la Cattedrale di San Lorenzo, la Fontana Maggiore e Palazzo Priori. Luisa Spagnoli, interpretata dalla bellissima e bravissima Luisa Ranieri, ha sfoggiato eleganti abiti d’epoca mentre percorreva Corso Vannucci, il corso principale di Perugia ma anche le suggestive scalette di Sant’Ercolano

                “DON MATTEO” tra Gubbio e Spoleto
                Gubbio
                , con le sue case di pietra e i vicoli stretti, è un vero tesoro medievale che ha attirato registi di tutto il mondo. La città è stata utilizzata come primo set per il film “Don Matteo”, prima di passare. Gubbio offre un’atmosfera autentica che ha reso la serie ancora più coinvolgente per gli spettatori. A Gubbio, in particolare, sono stati utilizzati la Chiesa di San Giovanni per la canonica e la chiesa della Fiction. Nella Piazza Grande, di fronte al Palazzo dei Consolo, invece, si trovata la caserma del maresciallo Cecchini, dove è ancora posizionato il tavolo delle partite a scacchi tra Don Matteo e il Maresciallo. Le famose passeggiate in bicicletta di Terence Hill – DON MATTEO, sono girare in Via Savelli, Via Piccardi e Via Baldassini.

                A Spoleto, invece, la maestosa Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, conosciuta anche come Duomo di Spoleto, è la location iconica della serie. Questo capolavoro di architettura romanica ospita opere d’arte straordinarie e rappresenta uno dei luoghi più sacri della città. Nella trama di “Don Matteo”, la cattedrale ospita la Canonica, la Caserma dei Carabinieri e il Parlatorio.
                Poco distante si può ammirare Piazza della Signoria dove sono state girate molte scene della Fiction. Palazzo Bufalini è stato utilizzato per le riprese in esterna della Caserma dei Carabinieri.

                L’Umbria è molto più di un’incantevole regione italiana: è un mondo di possibilità per cineasti e registi che desiderano catturare la sua bellezza e il suo fascino senza tempo. Esplorare i luoghi dove sono stati girati film e fiction in Umbria è un modo affascinante per scoprire la regione da una prospettiva unica, attraverso gli occhi dei creatori cinematografici che hanno reso questi luoghi indimenticabili sul grande e piccolo schermo.
