The
End
Umbria is situated in the centre of Italy. It is a land apart with its own character. It is the “Green Heart” of Italy. It is a region of hills, mountains, valleys and historical towns such as Perigia, Assisi, Norcia. The region was named after the Umbri people, which was absorbed by the Roman. The capital of the Umbri people was Gubbio. For many Umbria is regarded as the prettier sister of Tuscany. There are no big cities in Umbria and the people are kind and honest. The architectural is typically rustic and rural. Life is unhurried.
