Umbria

the heart of Italy

UmbriaUmbria is one of the most little regions in Italy, and one of most visited. Umbria is called Verde (green) for its luxuriant nature still intact and preserved from industrial site or modern big city. Umbria is almost as was hundred of years ago: a land rich of culture, churches, middle age village, where each day goes slow following the natural spirit of life.Assisi, Gubbio, Todi, Orvieto, Spello are must-to-see if you decide to travel in Umbria.

Assisi

Assisi is one of the most visited cities in Umbria: here St. Francis and St. Clare lived, and that makes Assisi's main religious center in the region. The modern city was built without affecting the structure of the ancient city: a series of little roads connect the various squares in different layers. The Basilica of San Francesco and Santa Chiara Church are not the only things to see in Assisi: the Temple of Minerva, the palace "Captain of the people" and the imposing Rocca Maggiore, just outside the city walls, are some of the attractions to visit. Walking, then, in the Regional Park of Mount Subasio you can enjoy the stunning natural landscape that characterizes the entire region of Umbria.

Gubbio

The blocks of limestone from which was built Gubbio, gives at the town the nickname of "gray city". Gubbio is the oldest center of Umbria, which has preserved its medieval appearance. Gubbio has a magnificent view over the sweet hills of Umbria. As Assisi, also Gubbio is closely linked to the figure of Saint Francis in particular at the encounter with the wolf. The Church of San Francesco is the place where the wolf refuge for the night. Leaving the Piazza Grande, the main center of the city, we recommend a tour of the monuments: from the Palazzo dei Consoli to the Palace del Capitolo, to the Cathedral and the Church of Santa Maria dei Servi, to learn better about the history and legends of Gubbio.

Orvieto

The perfect harmony between Orvieto and the tuff cliff on which it is built is a significant example of the harmonic integration of nature and human action. This wonderful town is a favorite spot for those seeking a quality tourism: Orvieto offers visitors a perfectlly kepts historical centre, a wonderful artistic heritage, a rich gastronomic menù. Walking the streets of the city you will take a journey through the three millennia of history of Orvieto: wherever you can find traces of the past times. The visit could start from the Duomo and then visit the Rocca and the Pozzo di San Patrizio. Moving towards Corso Cavour, after a stop in one of the antique shops, you will arrive in Piazza del Popolo dominated in all their glory from the Palazzo del Popolo and the papal palace. From a monument to another, take a break in one of the restaurants to taste the typical products of this land.
