The Umbria region
Umbria is characterized by hills warm as the ploughed land, green as the Mediterranean bush, embellished with urban centres small, but all perfect as for city planning, and their burden of history. You can see clearly the presence of man starting from the Etruscans, or the Umbrians, to the Romans and their whealthy villas, the Middle Age with its many fortresses and castles, the Renaissance and its fabulous paintings and the elegance and eurhythmy of its courtyards.
In Umbria you will really feel at home. Or even better.
The Umbria is an ideal territory to move around in Centre Italy, to reach beautiful places, and visit the main sights. If you stay for enough days in the Umbria you'll notice that the environment is unpolluted and far from chaos, and the cuisine is excellent.
Art cities: Assisi; Perugia; Gubbio; Spoleto; San Gemini; Todi; Orvieto; Norcia; Rome (about 80/140 km by motorway, 40/70 mins by train); Florence (about 90/150 km by motorway, 120/160 min by train).
The lakes: Trasimene Lake (Castiglione del Lago, Panicale, Passignano sul Trasimeno), Piediluco Lake and Corbara Lake (Terni, Stroncone)
The sea-side: it's about 100/130 kms far; the nearest beaches are Tarquinia and Capalbio.
Citta Di Castello / Trestina area
Città di Castello is a town near Perugia, in the northern part of the Umbria region of Italy. It is situated on a slope of the Apennines, on the upper part of the flood plain of the nearby river Tiber. The city lies north from Perugia (46 km) and south from Cesena (104 km) on the S3bis. It is connected to the A1 Rome-Florence highway by the SS 73 from Arezzo.The city is mostly built of brick, since it has been found that the local sandstone erodes very rapidly. Its principal monuments include the medieval Palazzo Comunale and a tall thin city tower nearby, the Torre Comunale, also medieval; and the Pinacoteca Comunale, an art museum with mostly Renaissance works, although notable for its external decoration by Giorgio Vasari.The much reworked cathedral (Duomo), now essentially eighteenth century, has among its treasures an altar-front (paliotto) of chased silver dating to the twelfth century, and a crosier of the fifteenth. The Museo del Duomo, or cathedral museum, is famous for the Canoscio hoard, a set of Late Antique silver spoons and plates with Christian motifs. The city has memorialized the abstract painter and sculptor Alberto Burri, who was born in Città di Castello, with the "Fondazione Palazzo Albizzini Collezione Burri" housing a large permanent museum of his works in the former Palazzo Albizzini.Towards the end of the twentieth century, the city has seen a considerable expansion northwards toward S. Giustino, with industrial parks tracking the river, railroad and main highway: the area produces farm machinery, textiles, ceramics and furnishings.
