The Rocca is a fascinating bit of Perugia history and one of my favorite places there too. I believe they do the Peace March - Marcia per la Giustizi e la Pace - from Perugia to Assisi every year. Bob and I lived in Perugia for eight months in 2005 and took the train to Assisi and then walked to the top of the mountain where the ruins of the castle look down on the city. It was incredible. Perhaps I will have to write a note about this and include some photos! Thanks for the comments! The Rocca is a fascinating bit of Perugia history and one of my favorite places there too.

People zipping through the passages on their way down to the car park. Amazing. One of those stupendous things in Italy that I just tripped over by luck without any foreknowledge. What a surprise to find this "underground city". And there it was, part of daily life in Perugia. Perhaps my favoritest place in Italy, by the way. Such a vibrant community. I'd happily stay there a long while. I wonder if they still have the annual peace march from Perugia to Assisi. Anyone know? I met so many wonderful people on that long walk. And the people who turned out to greet us cheered, church bells rang,... In the 80′s this seemed to be part of the evening commute.
