This region is ideal for anyone looking for a romantic itinerary<\/strong>, offering countless\u00a0trips that will make your heart skip a beat<\/strong>. Here is an itinerary that brings together the charm of the lake, the marvel of two monuments such as the Pozzo di San Patrizio (Saint Patrick\u2019s Well) in Orvieto and the San Fortunato Bell Tower in Todi and the very special street Vicolo Baciadonne in Citt\u00e0 della Pieve and the Teatro pi\u00f9 piccolo del mondo, the Smallest Theatre in the World, in Monte Castello di Vibio.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A trip to Trasimeno Lake<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Typical hamlets where time seems to have stopped, gorgeous views and breathtaking landscape and the beauty of the lake<\/strong>, with its three islands, are undoubtedly the ideal starting point for a romantic day in Umbria. And right on the lake it is also possible to do numerous activities: why not\u00a0go for a boat ride<\/strong>? The waters of the\u00a0Trasimeno\u00a0are also the setting of the\u00a0legend of the love story<\/strong> between nymph Agilla and Prince Trasimeno<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Citt\u00e0 della Pieve and the street vicolo Baciadonne<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The historical centre of Citt\u00e0 della Pieve\u00a0is beautiful and unique, ideal for a romantic walk to discover the rich artwork<\/strong>\u00a0of this city, also known for its ties with two great painters: this is the birthplace of\u00a0il Perugino<\/strong>\u00a0and where\u00a0il Pomarancio<\/strong> worked for many years. Lovers visiting Citt\u00e0 della Pieve must definitely go to the street\u00a0Vicolo Baciadonne<\/strong>: considered the narrowest in Italy \u2013 it is approximately only 50 centimetres wide \u2013 it would seem that walking through it has always been used as a way to get a kiss from your beloved.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Orvieto and Saint Patrick\u2019s Well<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Duomo of\u00a0Orvieto<\/strong>\u00a0is one of the most important and majestic churches in Italy. From the\u00a0Torre del Moro<\/strong>\u00a0you can enjoy an amazing view of the surrounding area as far as the eye can see. The city is built on a\u00a0cliff<\/strong>\u00a0giving it its unique and fascinating appearance, as though it were suspended between heaven and earth. And though it seems to be reaching upwards, Orvieto is also able to amaze us with is foundations. In fact visiting the underground city, is breathtaking, with its caves, wells and tunnels carved out in the 5th century B.C. A visit to Saint Patrick\u2019s Well<\/strong> is a must: 53 metres deep and with a double spiral staircase of 248 steps each, lit by 72 large windows that let light in from above. This is where lovers can follow the tradition of tossing in a coin and make a love wish together.<\/p>\n
