Estate a Poggiodomo

The summer of the smallest municipality in Umbria

Poggiodomo is the least populous municipality in Umbria, a small mountain village in the Valnerina valley, in the province of Perugia. Every summer, and particularly in August, the village and its hamlets come alive with "Estate a Poggiodomo", a widespread calendar of events designed to showcase the territory and welcome visitors and holidaymakers.

A widespread program across the hamlets

The unique feature of the event is that it is not concentrated in one place but rotates among the capital and the hamlets of Usigni, Mucciafora, and Roccatamburo. The program, which varies from year to year, blends different forms of entertainment:

• Trekking and excursions on the trails of the Valnerina, often themed (water, woods, local history);
• Local food festivals (sagre) and tastings, such as the Bruschetta Festival in Mucciafora, featuring typical local products and Umbrian wines;
• Shows including theatre, comedy, and concerts in the squares;
• Culture: conferences on the history of Poggiodomo and its hamlets, book presentations, social dinners.

A territory to be experienced

Promoted by the Municipality together with the Association for Poggiodomo and local organizations, the festival is an opportunity to discover a less-traveled corner of the Umbrian Apennines, made up of small villages, hermitages, and mountain landscapes. In recent years, the summer program has also been enriched with outdoor initiatives, such as the "Poggiodomo Outdoor Experience".
