The Coloriamo i Cieli (Painting the Skies) kite festival is to be held in the Umbrian town of Castiglione del Lago between April 30th and May 3rd.

Umbria property seekers who love flying kites – or who simply want to enjoy the spectacle – can come to the venue on the banks of Lake Trasimeno.

The programme of events does not start or finish with the kites, as there are also hot air balloons, food tasting, films and exhibitions.

Investors in Umbria property may enjoy a range of festivals and events in the region throughout the year, or rent their home there to visitors who can do likewise.

Among the other events takes place in the town of Narni, where riders dressed in medieval garb from three different districts race each other to the town square, where the first to put his lance through the ring hung there is the winner.
