Giacchio Festival

07/22/2016 – 07/31/2016, San Feliciano (PG)

One of the best parties on the shores of Lake Trasimeno. It takes its name from giacchio, a cast net in the shape of a truncated cone, with the greater circumference of about 15 meters, less than about 30 cm and a height of about 3 meters. Difficult to use, particularly his throwing technique, the amplitude of the network and the weight of weights they determined a specialized use, this ancient network of launch dates back to the Greek, Etruscan and Roman.
On the occasion of the festival: evening opening of the Museum of Fishing, fishing tourism trips and embroidery school.
