This region is mostly mountainous and hilly and presents a landscape rich in woods and water resources ( e.g Trasimeno lake, Falls of Marmore - the highest in Italy). It is crossed by the Apennines, which form numerous valleys.

Perhaps it is the evocative nature of the place, or a certain enchanted air (we might almost say "mystic") that you breathe to some extent everywhere, but sooner or later whoever visits Umbria ends up thinking: Saint Francis, that great, gentle, tender and poetic Saint of happiness and meekness could only have been born here in Umbria. In this place of ever-green, enchanted and radiant nature

In these towns the concept "historic centre" seems inadequate and reductive, so widespread is the monumental and artistic component in the towns of Umbria.

Art and culture, the pleasures of good food and music, traditional crafts and expressions of collective religion, folklore and contemporary art, opera and operetta, concert and theatre seasons: in Italy the calendar of festivals and events is practically endless.

Day after day people work weaving a continuous thread with the past and memory, living and interpreting the present and imagining the future in a crowd of festivals, rituals, exhibitions, expositions, recitals and markets. Not a single interest is left unfulfilled, not a single curiosity unsatisfied.
