And for art lovers, Panicale’s pride is Pietro Vannucci, known as Il Perugino (1446 - 1524). He is probably best known for being Raphael’s teacher. His Martyrdom of San Sebastiano, which was recently restored, is located in the San Sebastiano church. San Sebastiano is a small, romantic and extremely beautiful church just outside the walls.
