Sanctuaries and Local History

The Santuario di Santa Maria Assunta in Mongiovino is a diocesan sanctuary in Tavernelle, Panicale. The Santuario della Madonna delle Grondici is also located in the surrounding area of Tavernelle, at a particularly impressive viewpoint. The sanctuary was built in the 15th century to protect an image of the Virgin Mary painted on a wayside shrine. Both places provide access to religious history without requiring a purely urban cultural stay.

The Sagra della Pannocchia is also part of the local events calendar: it has reached its 30th edition.

Library with a Regional Focus

The Biblioteca Intercomunale “Ulisse” promotes educational programs for schools. These include practical workshops and reading sessions conducted by qualified staff and held with the involvement of authors and specialists.

The library has a local collection of books on history, literature, art and nature. These relate in particular to Panicale and Piegaro and, more generally, to the Umbria region. In total, the Biblioteca Intercomunale “Ulisse” has 6,800 catalogued and classified volumes. In this way, its regional focus extends from individual places to the wider cultural and natural area of Umbria.
