Throughout the month of December the community of Corciano presents a town-wide Nativity. Life-size statutes created by local artists and community members recreate the Nativity in the setting of the Medieval city with many tableaux ranging from artisan workshops and towns people, to of course the stable of the Nativity.
It is a Gothic church that contains several works of art, including a crucifix from the 5th century. It was built at the end of the 13th century. It has been deconsecrated and is used for events and exhibitions. It retains its original Gothic appearance, with a façade decorated with a rare carved wooden rose window. Inside there are fragments of frescoes dating back to a period between the 13th and 15th centuries and some works of art from other places: among others, a panel with the Madonna and Child with Saints by Orlando Merlini, a Saint Sebastian, a wooden sculpture by Francesco di Simone Ferrucci from 1482, and from the church of Sant'Agostino in Perugia, a canvas with the Madonna and Child between Saints Anna, Francis and Helen by Benedetto Bandiera from 1606, and a damaged canvas, by Giovanni Antonio Scaramuccia with the Madonna and Child, angels and saints.
The Palazzo Municipale, today the seat of the government of the Commune of Corciano, was constructed in the 16th century by the dukes of the Della Corgna family to consolidate Perugia's power over the formerly independent city. Some rooms are open to the public and include 16th century frescoed ceilings.
