Piediluco discovery itinerary

Piediluco is a small medieval village situated on the shores of the lake of the same name
An ideal destination for fans of sailing, boating and water skiing, it was chosen by the Italian Rowing Federation as the site of the National Rowing Centre; here, international rowing competitions are held and its sports facilities, in addition to housing, are used by athletes from around the world as the ideal venue for retreats and internships.

Enjoy the view of the village from the centre of the lake, taking advantage of the organised boat trips, or rent a pedalo; once in front of Monte Caperno, you can shout up to two syllables and you will hear the echo phenomenon.
Stroll around the lake; admire it from above while you walk along the Via di Francesco, up towards the Marmore Waterfalls.
Enjoy a moment of relaxation on the small well-equipped beaches.
In the picturesque fishing village, enlivened by the cheerful multi-coloured facades of the houses and magnificent remains of the Fortress built in the 11th century to control the area, make sure you visit the Church of San Francesco, built around 1338 in commemoration of the visit of St Francis. Note the bas-reliefs on the entrance doors depicting fish and tools for fishing in the lake.
Between late June and early July, the Festa delle Acque is not to be missed; a festival celebrating the summer solstice and the close link between the people and the lake: dance and theatre performances, musical concerts and firework displays that culminate with the gastronomic festival based on lake fish and the parade of boats with allegorical figures.
Only a few kilometres from Piediluco is Villalago, a 19th-century historic residence with a park, where you can enjoy a magnificent view over the lake; in summer, outdoor concerts and shows are staged there.
