Umbria: A Cultural Guide

Umbria, "the Green Heart of Italy," is a fascinating region of Etruscan and Roman monuments, medieval castles and cathedrals, and the Renaissance art of Giotto, ?erugino and the young Raphael. Everywhere, vibrant cities, evocative hill-towns and tranquil villages are set amid glorious landscapes. This thoroughly revised edition, newly illustrated, provides a compelling narrative along with chapters on the region's art and the local food and wine. A gazetteer gives visitors full details of what to see in the cities, hill-towns, and mountain and lakeside villages of one of Italy's most beautiful regions.
