Friends and friends! Prepare your senses and your suitcases, because in September the beautiful town of Panicale dresses up to host the 13th edition of “Fili in Trama”. This event, which is not just an exhibition but a true tribute to the art of merletto and ricamo, will take place from September 15 to 2024, XNUMX, and promises to be an unforgettable experience for all lovers of good taste and tradition.
Panicale, that corner of Umbria that seems straight out of a Renaissance painting, is becoming the international epicenter of embroidery and lace these days. With an air that mixes the ancient with the modern, “Fili in Trama” is the perfect opportunity to get lost among the intricate networks of threads, admire the most exquisite handcrafted pieces and, why not, get the odd textile jewel that you will keep. like a treasure.

Its cobblestone streets, its views of Lake Trasimeno, and its rich history that can be felt on every corner, are the icing on the cake.
What else to do in Panicale during these days? I suggest you start with a visit to the Collegiata di San Michele Arcangelo, a temple that has stood majestically since the 13th century. Its frescoes, its architecture... everything about it invites reflection and amazement. And if you are already immersed in the spirit of the Renaissance, you cannot miss the Cesare Caporali Theatre, one of the smallest and oldest theaters in Italy, which continues to operate with enviable vitality.
For the most adventurous, a walk around Panicale is almost mandatory. A few kilometers away you have the Lake Trasimeno, a natural paradise where you can enjoy outdoor activities or simply relax watching the sunset.
And since we're talking about relaxation, Umbrian gastronomy is not far behind. After a day of admiring embroidery and discovering corners, there is nothing better than sitting in a local trattoria and enjoying a good plate of pappardelle with wild boar or a juicy Porchetta, accompanied by a local Sagrantino wine. Now that's life!
In short, Panicale and “Fili in Trama” await you with open arms to offer you a journey in time, an immersion in Italian culture and tradition, and an experience that, without a doubt, you will remember for a long time. See you in September, you can't miss it!
