Moiano

In the country outside Citta della Pieve, the frazione of Moiano has medieval roots though it is a more modern town today. Near Lake Trasimeno and Chiusi (just across the border in Tuscany), the town is actually a collection of rural hamlets. It is under the administrative jurisdiction of Citta della Pieve.

Moiano developed in the 1600s and 1700s, and has scattered country churches in the outlying hamlets. There are stores and services, a couple of coffee bars, pizzeria and a handful of restaurants. A grocer, butcher, post office and hair salons serve the daily needs.

An interesting feature is the Casa del Popolo, first built in 1913 as the first so-called "Casa dei Socialisti" in Umbria. It was attacked and closed by the Fascist regime, then reopened after the Fascist Party fell, in 1943. It was bombed in 1974 by a far-right group, and left abandoned for years, but reopened in 1998.

There is a weekly market on Saturdays.

Moiano is close to the train station in Chiusi and near the lovely art city of Citta' della Pieve, which should definitely be explored.
