Perugia’s history told through its streets
Isbn: 9788860745484
Collana: Guide al territorio
Who were the residents of Pig Street? Why did Perugians only fight other Perugians in the meadow known as “The Battlefield”? In 1504 a “flying machine” was launched off the roof of the Danti Palace into the piazza below—was it successful? In 1999 Maria Rita Zappelli wrote Caro Viario, a book that is not simply a collection of stories and anecdotes but rather a true volume of Perugia history. It’s a testament to a city whose cultural wealth resides not only in its
palaces and chapels, but also in its people—all recounted through the city’s streets and piazzas, brought to life by Zappelli.
