UMBRIA

Nature always green, charming and radiant, is this region. Cities where the concept of historical center is not sufficient to define the monumental and artistic set of Umbria. Perusa, the capital of the region, has a great wealth of architectural works and of art: of the Etruscan walls to the splendid palace Gallenga, headquarters of the prestigious university for foreigners. The same thing happens with the splendid Gubbio, rich in Franciscan memories and in monuments of medieval and Renaissance epoch. Terni, modern industrial city, possesses real jewels as the churches of San Salvador and San Francisco and in its surroundings, a masterpiece of the nature as the spectacular cataract of the Marmoras. Finally, Asis, the natal city of San Francisco (and of Santa Clara, founder of the order of the Nuns of the order of St Clare), one of the most known and frequented by the pilgrims universally christen place.
