UMBRIA, THE GREEN HEART OF ITALY
Sometimes referred to as ‘the green heart of Italy’,
Umbria is a small, hilly and fairly untouched region between Tuscany
and Marche. The landscape is similar to that of Tuscany and combines
austere Medieval architecture and stone farmhouses with gently rolling
hills and rivers.
Lake Trasimeno is contained within the Trasimeno
Regional Park, and serves as a seasonal home to many species of
migrating birds, while the River Nera Regional Park contains the
Marmore Waterfalls,
the highest falls in Italy. There are a dozen or so hill towns,
each resolutely individual and crammed with artistic and architectural
treasures to rival bigger and more famous cities.
The most famous
are Perugia, Assisi (with the extraordinary frescoes by Giotto
in the Basilica of San Francesco), Orvieto, where the Duomo is one
of
the greatest Gothic buildings in the country, Todi, Gubbio (considered
the most perfect medieval centre in Italy), and Spoleto.
Le Torri di Bagnara looks over a wide part of the Tiber Northern
Valley, 18 km north of Perugia, at 300 m over the sea level.
The Tiber Northern Valley is also called “Museum Valley” because
of its beauty, art and culture. It is a fertile plain, entirely crossed
by the river that flows for about 50 km from Perugia to Città di
Castello, in the northern part of Umbria.
The landscape of the valley
is surrounded by green mountains and hills dotted with castles,
towers and medieval villages.
