IntroductionNature provides in
Umbria an exciting playground where greyish green olive trees, sunflower cradled by the warm Umbrian sunrays and wild flowers scattered here and there create a panorama of beautiful landscape which unfolds before your very eyes. The climate is kind and vines grow vigorously in well sheltered fields. This land is the cradle of so many high quality wines, whose vineyards have travellers longing for the “Cantina Aperte”, the only day throughout the year when they can taste Umbrian wines in vineyards.
Entertainment will never be missing. There is a fully booked calendar of events overflowing with festivals, fiestas, antique fairs, concerts, performances and open air films to excite envy.
Needless to say its history and its cultural past has a good part in drawing so many visitors. The
Umbrian, the
Etruscans, the Romans and then many other kingdoms have left their indelible marks in this beauty in the form of monuments, architecture, art …and customs.
It is said that the aspect of Umbria has remained quite the same throughout the last few centuries. A proof of that is in pictures of the 15th century painted by masters witnessing how landscape, people and architecture looked many centuries ago.
Nothing can be missed in this land where big towns as well as villages and hamlets have a great deal to share with its visitors.
