The scene of the Pope's election in Perugia 1294 and the Fontana Maggiore

We involve people in the period of the "Conclave" by a performance representing two popes interacting with tourists. The tourist guide will describe not only the art and the buildings, but also the history, the legends and the reason everything happened in the past in this place. The tourists can make photos and their short texts that are made after what we show them. Then we will put their artcrafts in our website so they can show them to everybody and could be liked online. At the end of every tour we will make the "batizzo" ceremony, in order to recognize the tourists as good observers of the reality we propose to them. We will give them a scroll, so they can remember this experience. There will be also the possibility to have a characteristic tasting and trying of the typical produces of Umbria region. We suggest to have brunch or dinner based on the extraordinary wines and extra virgin olive oil that you can find around.
