Ancient Umbrian Villages
Part 1: The charm of black and white
Historical region of the centre of Italy, Umbria is universally known for its landscapes, traditions, history, artistic legacy and influence on culture.
"The green heart of Italy", as it was defined by the great italian poet Giosuè Carducci, is characterized by green hills and ancient villages and cities rich in history and traditions.
Here, a few glimpses of architecture and landscape of Assisi, Gubbio and Spoleto, some of the most famous umbrian medieval towns.
