The Umbria region

Umbria, located in the middle of the Italian peninsula, above Latium (the region of Rome) and next to Tuscany, is the only region of Italy that does not have access to the Mediterranean. Despite this, it possesses, as you might have already heard, a "vocation for beauty".

The region is well known for its picturesque settings, the lightness and purity of the air, the presence of thermal and mineral water springs, the lakes and rivers and the spectacular waterfalls. Here life flows slowly, and people like to cling to their ancient traditions, keeping them alive through history.

Umbria is a region of mountains, hills and valleys. It is crossed by the Appenines mountains, which often slope down into gentle hills and allow for charming valleys crossed by rivers, such as the Tiber valley (the Tiber will eventually reach Rome) and the Nera valley, through which the Chiascio and Topino Rivera flow. In such a varied landscape expect to find the largest waterfall of Italy, Le Marmore, as well as lakes of volcanic origin, such as Lake Trasimeno and Lake Piediluco.

Umbria is also a region of small medieval town and villages, artistic gems which have maintained their original aspect and are at a short distance from one another. They all preserve noteworthy works of art, in the churches, in the art galleries and in the characteristic squares. The mystery of the Etruscan stones, the boldness of the Roman works, the pureness of the Christian architecture and the mildness of the Renaissance paintings are all to be found within the borders of Umbria. Those who have browsed a tourist guide will recognize the names of Perugia, Gubbio, Spoleto, Todi, Orvieto, Assisi, Spello, Trevi, Cascia, Norcia -- a few of the most notable towns of Umbria.

The Amelia area

Town of considerable historic and cultural interest, Amelia's one of the most ancient Italian towns. The city, entirely surrounded by polygonal walls of the seventh century BC is distributed on a hill overlooking a sweet and pleasant countryside. It's sitting on a hill in the south western corner of Umbria, and above the River Tiber to the east and the River Nera to the west.

It was an important center of Umbria, and then thriving town hall of the Romans with the name of 'Ameria'. Amelia was in fact purportedly founded by a legendary Umbri king, King Ameroe, who gave the city the name Ameria. Both Roman and Umbrian civilizations have left their testimonies indeed, and this is demonstrated by the exhibits in the Archaeological Museum where it is exposed the beautiful bronze statue of Germanicus, and ten large areas with Roman cisterns.

The old town centre is well preserved and charming, full of monuments and works of art of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. At the top of the hill stands the Cathedral alongside the Civic Tower, a symbol of communal freedom. The picturesque Piazza Marconi still preserves the atmosphere of the past. There is a fine architecture of noble buildings like the Palace Petrignani, Palazzo Farrattini and Venturelli, all with frescoed rooms. In the churches of St Francesco and St Augustine are preserved many works of art, while in the church of St Magno is a precious organ.

On the outskirts of the city, nature finds moments of rare beauty in the Rio Grande Park, an oasis of greenery and tranquility. You can rent a row boat and toodle around in the shade of alder, poplar and willow trees, looking for lovely ducks and herons. There is a small park called La Cavallerizza, hosting a horse racing track, with a walking - or jogging - path round about.
