On the Path of Ceramics

On the Path of Ceramics

Starting from Euro 195,00 per person

If during your travels and holidays in Umbria you are not satisfied with seeing but want to deepen, understand and know, you can let yourself be fascinated by the mastery of skilled craftsmen who have handed down precious knowledge in their workshops for generations by working the ceramic.

1st day

Arrival in the early afternoon. Deruta, the city par excellence of artistic majolica, among the most appreciated and known in the world. The “Raphaelesque” decoration characterizes all the production: they are fast interweaving of leaves, birds and other animals with Moorish motifs, and the prevailing colors of this type of ceramic are intense cobalt blue and yellow on white enamel which embellishes the whole. Particularly in the former convent of San Francesco, it is worth visiting the Regional Museum of Ceramics, which documents centuries of this activity.

Followed by a visit to an artisan workshop.

Accommodation in the structure and overnight.

2nd day

After breakfast moving to Gubbio.

The fame of Gubbio ceramics is linked to the name of Mastro Giorgio, whose original majolica with ruby and pale gold reflections are still today the object of study by artists from all over the world. This type of processing is accompanied by the processing of the famous black and shiny vases called buccheri, which repeat the shapes and friezes of the very ancient original Etruscan models.
Sightseeing tour with the Gubbio Express.

Free lunch

In the afternoon we move to Gualdo Tadino, a place where the production of ceramics had already started in the distant fourteenth century and which saw a rediscovery at the end of the nineteenth century by Paolo Rubboli of the ruby gold luster, according to the Arab formula described by Cipriano Piccolpasso, a renewed artistic season opens for Gualdo ceramics. Entrance to Rocca Flea
Overnight.

3rd day

After breakfast, the journey to Orvieto ends. Over the centuries, traces of the ancient activity had been lost, until the beginning of the twentieth century, when the rediscovery of finds dating back to the Middle Ages reawakened the impulse to a rich and flourishing production. Orvieto Carta Unica will be made available for visiting the main monuments.

      Gubbio: a stay amidst nature, culture, and biking

      Gubbio is one of the most picturesque and charming medieval cities in Umbria. We have designed a tour with circular routes that can combine the ancient history of Gubbio, its artistic heritage, and pristine nature with biking proposals and a professional guide to explore the territory and its beautiful breathtaking panoramas.

      Paths designed with varying levels of difficulty suitable for everyone: families, cycling enthusiasts, experienced bikers, etc

      Choose which one is your favorite?

      I CINQUE COLLI

      The route is named after the symbol of the city of Gubbio, with the 5 hills representing the five hills behind the city. We start the ascent near the locality of Padule, which is immediately challenging but becomes easier after 2 km when we reach the paved road. This section is very scenic, and once we exit the vegetation, we find Monte Cucco and its valley to our right. Continuing, we reach the summit of Monte Ingino, where the wonder of the Basilica necessitates a stop to visit the place where the patron saint of Gubbio, St. Ubaldo, is located. The view over the city and the entire Eugubine plain is unique. Proceeding further, we cross two more hills with a steep ascent and, upon reaching the locality of Mocaiana, re-enter the city with a slight uphill.

      Difficulty: DIFFICULT

      Terrain: ASPHALT 30%
      UNPAVED 50%
      TRAIL 20%

      LA PIANA EUGUBINA

      An easy route that stretches across the local plains. The numerous roads bordering the agricultural fields create a fantastic network of paths protected by the surrounding hills. Ideal for starting a vacation in the area, admiring the beauty offered by nature, history, and our cuisine.

      Difficulty: EASY
      Terrain: ASPHALT 50%, DIRT ROAD 50%

      PEDALANDO VERSO SUD SULLA VIA DI FRANCESCO

      Sharing a short section of the Franciscan route with the many pilgrims traveling from Gubbio to Assisi, we start from the Vittorina church. After about 4 km, we reach the Ponte d’Assi area. Following the Mocaiana sign for about 800 meters and then turning left, the path becomes dirt, first on flat ground, then slightly uphill amidst olive groves and reforested areas of walnuts and cherries. We pass a green barrier and reach the summit. Here, the oak forest offers pleasant shade. Descending towards one of the lakes inside the Fassia Estate, artificial lakes built for irrigation, we climb again, keeping Gubbio to the left, returning to the asphalt road at a fast pace. We turn right and cross another hill, reaching the Colonnata area. The view here is fantastic; we are on the road leading to Perugia. We descend towards Gubbio and return, covering a section of the old Branca-Gubbio railway.

      Difficulty: EASY
      Terrain: ASPHALT 50%, DIRT ROAD 50%

      DAL SOLE AL CASTELLO

      The route winds through local crops for the first kilometers and then becomes completely flat. Heading east from the city, we reach the Torre dei Calzolari area, passing through dense woods and touching the Colmollaro Castle, a fief of the Raffaelli family, a marvel of our history. From here, we continue, passing through Branca, climbing along a dirt road until we reach a village with the Branca Castle. The route no longer has steep ascents, but continuous ups and downs make the return journey not too easy.

      Difficulty: EASY
      Terrain: ASPHALT 50%, DIRT ROAD 50%

      TRA LE COLLINE EUGUBINE

      Starting from the Vittorina church, a place of religious importance where St. Francis met and calmed the Wolf of Gubbio, we head south, crossing the main road. A few kilometers of asphalt, and the route becomes a dirt road. A small ascent allows us to admire a wonderful panorama of the Eugubian plain. We have reached the small hamlet of Monteluiano. From here, we climb on asphalt and then turn right. A series of ups and downs offer a unique view of the entire Eugubian valley. After a few kilometers, we descend and reach the Nerbisci hamlet. The return to the city is simple with a slight ascent. Passing through small villages, we return to the Stone City where the medieval era shines in all its facets.

      Difficulty: MODERATE
      Terrain: ASPHALT 50%, DIRT ROAD 50%

      DA GUBBIO VERSO LA VALTIBERINA

      A challenging route that unfolds entirely in the territory south of Gubbio. After an initial stretch on asphalt and a slight descent, we leave the plain to start the ascent on the hills bordering the Tiber Valley. Gubbio on our right and Mount Tezio on the left offer wonderful panoramic viewpoints. We descend quickly towards the westernmost point of the municipality of Gubbio, the Camporeggiano area (road leading to the Tiber Valley). There isn’t a single meter of flat terrain; it’s immediately uphill, returning towards the city of Gubbio.
