Discover Cerqueto

For a stay in Cerqueto, getting there and exploring the town’s history can be treated as separate areas of focus. The Busitalia timetable lists two routes stopping at Cerqueto G.Tadino. There is also the parish of Sant'Antonio di Padova, a park named after Maria Spigarelli, and a nearby memorial stele. Which route suits your starting point and which historical topics interest you are two distinct questions to consider when planning your trip.

Bus routes and getting there

In the Busitalia timetable, which has been in effect since August 1, 2026, both routes E002 and E062 serve the Cerqueto G.Tadino stop. E002 runs along the Perugia–Valfabbrica–Gualdo Tadino route, while E062 runs along Assisi–Morano Osteria–Gualdo Tadino. Gualdo Tadino is the final stop on both routes; the other towns listed distinguish them. Check which route suits your starting point, and compare the departure times with your intended travel date. Checking the timetable before setting out is a helpful final planning check.

Parish and local context

The parish of Sant'Antonio di Padova is located in Cerqueto, Via P. Ideale 17, 06023, Italy. It dates back to 1986.

Park and resistance history

On April 26, 2026, it was reported that the park on Via Lussemburgo in the hamlet of Cerqueto is named after Maria Spigarelli, known as “Meri.” Spigarelli was a partisan and a prominent figure in the Gualdo resistance. In April 2026, the park had a bocce court built by numerous volunteers. If you would like to include the court in your plans, check whether it is still there before visiting.

The stele at Cerqueto-Anguillara

The stele “Stele a ricordo eccidio Cerqueto di Gualdo Tadino” is located near Cerqueto, in the locality of Cerqueto-Anguillara on Strada Provinciale 245 between Gualdo Tadino and Perugia. It commemorates the retaliatory killing of several partisans from the Gruppo di Azione Antifascista Gualdese. Unlike the park’s name, the stele commemorates several partisans and a specific killing, while the park is named after Maria Spigarelli, an individual figure in the resistance. This distinguishes remembrance of a group from a naming that honors one resistance figure.

“Note d’Inverno”: collaboration and patronage

The event “Note d’Inverno” also has a connection to local culture: it was created in collaboration with Pro Loco Cerqueto. Since its first edition in 2011, it has been held under the patronage of the Umbria Region. Its history is rooted on two levels: local collaboration in its creation and regional patronage.
