Cortona seemed like a pleasant place but we didn't dare stick around. The church was old on the outside and fairly new on the inside, so really no tour to be had. The cemetery next door turned out to be an interesting side trip which is explained more on the photo page. On the way out, we drove over the ridge and found a delightful little trattoria perched on the side of the mountain overlooking Lake Trasimeno. Lunch options in Italy are rather limited.
Restaurants serve the same menu at the same price for both lunch and dinner.
This was a restaurant so we were into a little more of a food adventure than we originally planned. You can read about it on the restaurant photo page. Last stop on the tour for today was Montepulciano, best known for producing my favorite Italian red wine, Vino Nobile de Montepulciano. There were, in fact, wine shops galore in the town, which we really fell in love with. After a mid-day espresso break at Caffe Poliziano, we started wandering the town.
