Moiano: Local History, Events and Trails

Moiano combines local history with a varied events calendar and trails through the surrounding landscape. In the town center stands the Church of Santi Donato e Biagio, while three traditional annual fairs take place in Piazza Enrico Berlinguer. The Sagra della Lumaca is also held in Moiano. This makes it a place where cultural traces, local events and nature experiences can be explored with different focuses.

Churches Reflecting Different Periods

The Church of Santi Donato e Biagio in the center of Moiano was completed in 1959 and later took on parish functions.

San Biagio in Caticciano may already have existed around 1000 to 1100; the first reliable records of this church date from 1275. The first information about San Donato in Ravigliano dates from 1191.

Annual Fairs and the Sagra della Lumaca

Moiano hosts three traditional annual fairs, held in Piazza Enrico Berlinguer. The Sagra della Lumaca in Moiano takes place every year during the last week of June and was established in 2012. If you would like to plan your stay around a festival, the last week of June provides a specific reference point for organizing your visit around this event. The annual fairs add another public meeting place to the picture of regular local life.

Trails with Views of the Lake

Beyond the rural church, the Antico-Sentiero trail offers impressive views of Lake Trasimeno in good weather.

Another trekking route runs toward Moiano as far as the Church of Madonna di Canale. From there, it follows a comfortable unpaved path toward San Biagio. This places a lake perspective alongside a sequence of trails connecting several churches and villages, offering different landscape experiences.
