Umbria is a region on a human scale, full of natural and artistic beauties. A land of saints and religious movements, where the past, present and future meet to create a unique combination. In the cities’ historic centres throughout the area, the traces of important civilisations from the past are easy to find: the Etruscan culture, the Roman domination and the birth and development of communal centres that have left their marks on Orvieto, Spello and Città di Castello. Here, art-lovers will find easy access to the majority of Italian renaissance art and a large part of antique and medieval art. Indeed, within a radius of about 100 kilometres, numerous testimonies of the World’s artistic heritage can be found.

Orvieto, a picturesque city of art, is universally known for the ingenious San Patrizio well and for its magnificent cathedral. Spello rises at the foot of the Subsaio Mountain and is a picturesque agricultural city that hosts the remains of an arena, of walls and of three gates from the Roman times.
