We began today by hiking through olive orchards to the small farming village of Osa, with picturesque abandoned stone farmhouses and pretty wildflowers.
We then drove to the Castello di Corbara winery, where we had a brief tour of the wine-making process followed by a fine lunch. Walking down to Lago di Corbara, we passed a llama who seemed anxious to join us.
The lake is a source of the Tiber river. Mussolini ordered a dam to be built to control the Tiber floods that often inundated Rome.
We ended the day with a visit to the Deruta pottery, which makes fine Majolica ware, and then to our hotel in Spello near Assisi.
