SUMMER@LINK | CITTÀ DELLA PIEVECittà della Pieve is a charming medieval town, situated on a hill between the ri-vers Nestore and Chiani, overlooking the Valdichiana and Trasimeno Lake. Lo-cated on the border between Tuscany and Lazio, it was probably erected in theEtruscan era. Città della Pieve was the birthplace of the painter Pietro Vannucciknown as “Il Perugino”. Some of his famous paintings, like the Adoration of theMagi (1504), can be admired at Città della Pieve. In 1550, Pope Julius III assi-gned the government of Città della Pieve to Ascanio Corgna, determining thearrival of artists mainly engaged in construction and decoration of the magni-ficent palace that takes his name. This Palazzo is also the site of Link CampusUniversity.Located in the historic centre, opposite to the Cathedral, the Palazzo della Cor-gna, strongly desired by the Corgna Ascanio to give prestige to the Governance,was completed by his nephew Diomede. The project is attributed to GaleazzoAlessi; the interior is richly frescoed by Pomarancio and Salvio Savini (1580)with mythological paintings in the Tuscan-Roman late-Mannerist style.

SUMMER@LINK | MONTESCAGLIOSOThe summer courses of the Link Campus University will take place, at Montesca-glioso, inside the Benedictine Abbey “San Michele Arcangelo”.This monument is located in the old part of town: the first historical informationdates back to the eleventh century. It reaches the maximum glory from the six-teenth century until 1784, when the monks abandoned to move to the town ofLecce.The building has 365 rooms on three floors: the underground with deposits andcellars, the ground floor with rooms and refectory and the first floor with cells,the abbot’s room, the guesthouse, the infirmary and the library. Equipped withtwo cloisters and many frescoes, the monument is also the main office of theCivitas Severiana Foundation, after the ancient Roman name of the townA peasant exhibition on the daily life of the inhabitants of the area can also bevisited.
