The region is<\/span> crossed by the Apennines<\/span> from which descend<\/span> numerous<\/span> hills<\/span> with soft lines<\/span> that vary<\/span> and<\/span> soften<\/span> the landscape<\/span>. Its green<\/span> valleys vary within<\/span> their<\/span> harmonious beauty<\/span> traits<\/span> changing<\/span>: from high Tiber<\/span>, bordering the<\/span> Romagna<\/span>, up to<\/span> the one that<\/span> goes<\/span> to Rome and the<\/span> sea<\/span>; the fertile valley through<\/span> which the Chiascio<\/span> and<\/span> Topino<\/span>; the Nera Valley<\/span>, rich in characteristic corners<\/span> in<\/span> unspoilt nature<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The<\/span> Umbrian landscape<\/span> prefers<\/span> water<\/span>. Sometimes<\/span> overlooking a<\/span> placid lake<\/span>, be it<\/span> near<\/span> Perugia<\/span> Trasimeno<\/span> or<\/span> Piediluco lake<\/span> near<\/span> Terni<\/span>; sometimes<\/span> it is enlivened by<\/span> a<\/span> fearless<\/span> cascade<\/span>: the<\/span> Marmore<\/span>; sometimes still<\/span> basks<\/span> in<\/span> a<\/span> clear spring<\/span> that captivated<\/span> the poet<\/span>: the sources<\/span> of Clitunno<\/span>. The<\/span> ‘<\/span>natural environment particularly impressive<\/span>, the presence of numerous<\/span> mineral and thermal waters<\/span>,<\/span> the history<\/span> of the<\/span> city<\/span> still<\/span> imprinted<\/span> in their architecture<\/span>, the warm hospitality<\/span> of the restaurants and<\/span> trattorias<\/span>, where they prepare<\/span> the old way<\/span> simple dishes<\/span>, characterize<\/span> this region<\/span><\/p>\n

Umbria is<\/span> a land<\/span> of peace and<\/span> tranquility<\/span>. It is the<\/span> region<\/span> of St. Francis<\/span>, St. Clare<\/span> and<\/span> St. Rita of<\/span> Cascia<\/span>. The<\/span> Franciscan Trail<\/span> running from<\/span> Assisi<\/span> and arrives in<\/span> Gubbio<\/span> and<\/span> Verna<\/span>, via Perugia<\/span> and<\/span> Valfabbrica<\/span>, marks a<\/span> perfect<\/span> scenery<\/span> in spiritualism<\/span> of these places<\/span>. Ninety<\/span> percent of<\/span> municipalities and<\/span> cities<\/span> emanate<\/span> ideas<\/span> and cultures,<\/span> united<\/span> by art and<\/span> history<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The accents<\/span> of the<\/span> Umbrian people<\/span> are<\/span> as diverse as<\/span> their culinary specialties<\/span> that receive<\/span> items<\/span> from Tuscany<\/span>, Romagna<\/span> and<\/span> Marche<\/span>. The flavors<\/span> of the kitchen<\/span> are the traditional ones<\/span> and the wines<\/span> always<\/span> fine<\/span>. Umbria is<\/span> the green heart of<\/span> Italy<\/span>. Narni<\/span> is<\/span> even<\/span> its exact<\/span> geographical center<\/span>. From the beginning<\/span> the role<\/span> of this land<\/span> was to<\/span> an important<\/span> crossroads for people<\/span> and ideas<\/span>. Thus<\/span> was formed<\/span> over the centuries<\/span> the character of<\/span> these people<\/span>: warm, peaceful<\/span> and open,<\/span> straining<\/span> to<\/span> better quality of life<\/span> both<\/span> in the countryside than<\/span> in<\/span> cities<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The<\/span> Umbrian territory<\/span> is characterized by<\/span> rolling hills<\/span>, small villages and<\/span> forests<\/span>. A landscape<\/span> that Perugino<\/span> immortalized<\/span> in his paintings<\/span>. Today<\/span> can be visited<\/span> six<\/span> regional parks<\/span> and the National Park<\/span> of Monti<\/span> Sibillini<\/span> that borders<\/span> the Marches<\/span>. The tourist<\/span> on a journey<\/span> between myth and history<\/span>, within<\/span> scenarios<\/span> Gothic, Baroque<\/span> and Renaissance<\/span>, where there are<\/span> fantastic towers<\/span> and<\/span> imposing castles<\/span>, spent<\/span> a<\/span> sign of<\/span> vital and important<\/span>. But the heart<\/span> of Italy<\/span>, Umbria is still beating<\/span> and<\/span>, to date, a region<\/span> alive in every<\/span> season of the year<\/span>. You can always<\/span> attend<\/span> events<\/span> with<\/span> famous artists<\/span> or<\/span> newcomers<\/span> that will<\/span> surely<\/span> be talked about.<\/span><\/p>\n

In summer<\/span> and winter<\/span> in Perugia<\/span>, Orvieto, rising<\/span> to the fore<\/span> the biggest stars<\/span> of the<\/span> music scene<\/span> for<\/span> Umbria<\/span> Jazz<\/span>. Also<\/span> we must not forget<\/span>: The candles<\/span> and<\/span> the Christmas tree<\/span> largest<\/span> in the world<\/span> of<\/span> Gubbio<\/span>, Spoleto<\/span> Festival<\/span>, Todi Art<\/span> Festival<\/span>, the<\/span> Baroque Signs<\/span> and<\/span> Quintana<\/span> in Foligno<\/span> and the Sagra<\/span> Musicale<\/span> Umbra<\/span> with music<\/span> inspired<\/span> sacred<\/span>. The seasons<\/span> of<\/span> prose<\/span> are<\/span> doubles, one<\/span> per season<\/span>, with the Teatro<\/span> Stabile<\/span> (<\/span>a circuit of fewer than 14<\/span> theaters<\/span>) which is known<\/span> since 1985<\/span> for its<\/span> interesting<\/span> productions<\/span>. Umbria<\/span>: an ancient land<\/span> towards the future<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Tradition<\/span> Umbro<\/span> Tuscany<\/span><\/strong>
\nL<\/span> ‘<\/span>Umbria is<\/span> also<\/span> in its people<\/span> who collected<\/span> and<\/span> preserved<\/span> by a<\/span> remote tradition<\/span>, the art of making<\/span> pottery<\/span>, textiles<\/span> and<\/span> confectionery<\/span> craft<\/span>, in iron<\/span>, copper<\/span> and wood<\/span>.<\/p>\n

With its many<\/span> manifestations<\/span> Umbria<\/span> region<\/span> shows<\/span> its vocation<\/span> of<\/span> the faithful guardian<\/span> of ancient traditions<\/span> and so<\/span>, in the course<\/span> of the year<\/span>, every town<\/span> or<\/span> village<\/span> likes to<\/span> relive<\/span> the most significant moments<\/span> of the past<\/span>, enhancing them<\/span> with the active participation<\/span> of<\/span> all its<\/span> people<\/span> that<\/span> gives them<\/span> a<\/span> genuine<\/span> hard to repeat<\/span> elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> City<\/span> and the countries<\/span> of Umbria<\/span><\/strong>
\nts c<\/span><\/span>I<\/span><\/span>ities<\/span>, gems<\/span> of art<\/span>, intact<\/span> until now<\/span> only a few steps<\/span> from each other<\/span>: Perugia<\/span>, the regional capital<\/span>, Assisi<\/span>, Gubbio<\/span>, Citt\u00e0 di Castello<\/span>, Foligno<\/span>, Gualdo<\/span> Tadino<\/span>, Orvieto<\/span>, Spoleto<\/span>, Spello<\/span>, Terni<\/span> ,<\/span> Todi<\/span>, Trevi<\/span>, Cascia<\/span>, Norcia<\/span>, Montone<\/span>, Pietralunga<\/span>, Monte<\/span> Santa<\/span> Maria<\/span> Tiberina<\/span>, Citerna<\/span>, Monterchi<\/span> and<\/span> many others,<\/span> make Umbria<\/span> a city<\/span>–<\/span>unique region.<\/p>\n

All<\/span> reveal their<\/span> medieval<\/span> matrix<\/span>, gird themselves with<\/span> turreted walls<\/span>, solid<\/span> d<\/span> ‘<\/span>heights and slopes<\/span>, preserve<\/span> the texture<\/span> of<\/span> old streets<\/span>, open<\/span> to<\/span> glimpses of views<\/span> of endless beauty<\/span> and preserve<\/span> the memory<\/span> of the events that<\/span> have seen them<\/span> protagonists<\/span> in the story<\/span> with the Etruscans<\/span> ,<\/span> the Romans<\/span>, the Lombards<\/span>. All<\/span> guard<\/span> in<\/span> wonderful works<\/span> of art<\/span>, churches, museums and<\/span> plazas<\/span>, the mystery<\/span> of the stones<\/span> Etruscan<\/span>, the boldness<\/span> of the<\/span> Roman works<\/span>, the clarity of<\/span> Christian<\/span> architecture<\/span>, the extraordinary beauty of<\/span> Renaissance paintings<\/span>.

Climate<\/span> in Umbria<\/span><\/strong>
\nFrom<\/span> a morphological<\/span> Umbria<\/span> presents<\/span> a remarkable variety<\/span>. There are<\/span> the beautiful hills<\/span> that produce<\/span> a wine<\/span> and<\/span> oil<\/span> that are unmatched<\/span>, there are<\/span> the plains<\/span> crossed by<\/span> major rivers<\/span> and<\/span> there are mountains<\/span>. This variety<\/span> gives<\/span> Umbria<\/span> a special climate<\/span> in which<\/span> the climatic characteristics<\/span> typical<\/span> of the Mediterranean regions<\/span> are modulated<\/span> by the presence<\/span> of the Apennine Mountains<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The lack of<\/span> access to the sea<\/span> does the rest<\/span>. The summers<\/span> are hot and dry<\/span>. Winters<\/span>, harsh and snowy<\/span> near the mountains<\/span>, become myths<\/span> in the plains and<\/span> valleys<\/span>. Beautiful<\/span> a little<\/span> ‘<\/span>wherever the<\/span> late spring<\/span> and<\/span> early autumn<\/span>. The<\/span> annual rains<\/span> are between<\/span> 850<\/span> and 1200<\/span> mm<\/span>. The<\/span> rainy months<\/span> are<\/span> November and March<\/span>. December to February<\/span> is not ‘<\/span>rare snow<\/span>, especially near<\/span> the Apennines<\/span>.<\/span> Usually<\/span> hot and dry<\/span> from June to<\/span> late September<\/span> with peaks<\/span> above 30<\/span> degrees<\/span> Celsius<\/span> in July and August<\/span>. Meek and<\/span> mild<\/span> in May<\/span>, pleasantly cool<\/span> October.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
