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 Citta Di Castello / Morra area

Among the gentle green hills of Upper Tiber Valley, revealing luminous landscapes and an intensely cultivated countryside, lies Città di Castello.

In ancient times known as "Tifernum Tiberinum", the village got the current name becoming a Roman municipium at the beginning of the II century. In the XIII century imposing boundary walls surrounded the village, dividing it into four quarters: St Maria, St Giacomo, St Florido and St Egidio. Between the XV and XVI centuries, Città di Castello was dominated by the seigniory of the Vitelli, that left a very important heritage in terms of urban furnishings. Città di Castello has not significantly changed from the beginning of Cinquecento, and this integrity has allowed this small town to preserve intact architectural and pictorial oeuvres of extraordinary beauty... this is the reason why it is worth a visit, indeed!

Let's start from Piazza Matteotti: the Baroque mark of the buildings around has changed the original medieval structure. Palazzo del Podestà overlooks the piazza, keeping the fourteenth-century stone-buinding structure on the side facing Corso Cavour, while the façade dates back to 1686. Palazzo Vitelli "in piazza" (the umpteenth monument left by the noble family) stands just in front of it. Walking along the old town centre, you will get into Palazzo dei Priori, current town hall, unfinished work of art by Angelo da Orvieto. The gothic building (1322-53), shows an ashlar work exterior, adorned by a refined portal and beautiful twin lancet windows. The "Torre Comunale" (municipal tower) decorated with coats of arms faces the Palazzo. The tower is open to visits every day except of Monday, 10 am – 1 pm and 3.30 pm – 5.30 pm.

You will be fascinated by the marvellous dome, built over a pre-existing Romanesque church, as the bell-tower witnesses. The dome is dedicated to the saints Florido and Amanzio, and was totally restored during the Renaissance. The northern façade keeps the signs of several changes: the gothic portal (1339-1359); the fourteenth-century staircase; the unfinished front, which dates back to 1632-1646. Inside the church you will be able to admire a stunning coffered ceiling (XVIII century) and some amazing frescoes made by Pomarancio (1573) and Marco Benefial (1749). The left transept offers the lovely painting by Rosso Fiorentino, representing the Transfiguration, recently brought back to the ancient splendour.

Close by the Dome there is the "Capitular Museum" that collects extremely precious works of art, like Tesoro di Canoscio, rare V and VI centuries collection of dishes, pots and Eucharistic stuff. The ‘paliotto’ (antependium) in golden and embossed silver, dates back to the XII century, while the ‘pastoral’ attributed to the Sienese School, dates back to the second half of the XIV century. The picture gallery shows paintings like Madonna col Bambino e San Giovannino, attributed to Pinturicchio.
