Umbria at a glance

Pure like the waters of its springs, mystic like its cathedrals, unspoilt like its parks and mountains, vibrant like the jazz music which fills its piazzas, genuine and generous like its people.
Many of those visiting Umbria come to the conclusion that St. Francis, the great, gentle, and poetic Saint of content and simplicity, known for his love of the natural world, could not possibly have been born anywhere else. Indeed there is no lack of religious sentiment in this "spiritual heart of Italy", the enchanting green landscapes of which are dotted with any number of ancient chapels, churches, and abbeys. This small, land-locked region is rich in little hill towns and beautifully preserved Medieval cities, each and every one conserving stunning works of art and architecture, and its own unique gastronomic traditions.
