S. Maria Assunta

Corciano is not very big, but you should not get the idea that these three churches represent all, or even most, of the old churches in the town and its surrounding territory: there are over a dozen of them. I don't know the area as well as I could, and I haven't seen most of them: this will serve, as well as any, as an excuse to go back to Corciano, which is among one of the most attractive places in Umbria. Anyhow, the most important of the churches missing here are S. Agostino, just out of town to the south, and the profusely frescoed S. Maria del Serraglio.
The outlying churches include S. Croce in Corciano Vecchio, S. Pietro di Taverne, S. Maria in Via, S. Maria della Neve, S. Giuliano at Collelungo, the tiny oratorio of S. Filippo Neri at Villa Baldeschi, a very old stone church at La Trinità on top of an isolated hill, the hermitage of S. Salvatore on Monte Malbo, and the churches of S. Biagio and of S. Paolo at Rentella; the list is not exhaustive.
