Transportation: Exit at Santa Maria degli Angeli Nord. You will encounter a series of roundabouts. At roundabout nr 2 follow Santa Maria degli Angeli. In Santa Maria degli Angeli drive along the huge church with a golden statue on the top of the facade. Drive straight on, initially along the church, then pass the railway and continue without taking any turn until roundabout nr 5 (approx. 3.5 km 2.3 miles from the Church).Here turn left downhill, direction Perugia (SS 147), you will be soon driving on the Ponte San Vittorino (a bridge close to a bus and camper parking lot). Just after the bridge turn to the right in Via San Fortunato. Do not take sharp right along the parking lot, but take the Via San Fortunato that goes uphill (other signs are for Pieve San Nicolo, Paganzano, San Fortunato).After 5.5 km (4 miles) you will see on your left a small pink house which is adjacent to a larger yellow house. There is a sign above their door that says La Pieve. Continue uphill for less than 1 km (0.7 mile) and turn right into an unpaved road, Via Petrata. There is no other turn between the pink-yellow house and the Via Petrata. If you arrive at the intersection for Gubbio you have missed the turn, go back and take the first unpaved road on your left.
