Piediluco

An enchanting village overlooking the lake of the same name and stretching out at the foot of Mount Luco.

Piediluco

The village of Piediluco has a peaceful and traditional atmosphere. The narrow winding streets, stone houses and characteristic alleys create a charming atmosphere. Strolling through the village, one catches delightful glimpses of the narrow alleys on which the houses are built and encounters pretty little squares from which to admire a beautiful panorama. The Church of San Francesco overlooks the street from its elevated position. Built to commemorate the passage of the saint through Piediluco, the church was completed in 1338. Today it is a Franciscan sanctuary and is part of the itinerary of the Via di Francesco.

On the summit of Mount Luco stands the mighty Rocca, which guarded the territory in the Middle Ages. Now it imposes its presence. From here, there is an unparalleled view: the lake, with its bizarre shape and outstretched arms, appears nestled between green hills and valleys that make up a marvellous landscape. The mountain that stands out on the opposite side of the village and seems to be floating, is Caperno. The residents refer to it as the "mountain of the Echo" because of its alleged ability to return an echo if you shout out towards it.
