gubbio farmhouse

Perched on a hillside in northern Umbria, charming Gubbio has changed little since the Middle Ages. Its steep cobblestone streets, portals, fountains and beautiful views of the countryside below are beguiling. Be sure to visit the Piazza della Signoria and the 14th-century Palazzo dei Consoli. Every year on 15 May, Gubbio holds the traditional Corsa dei Ceri (Candles): Men race through the streets carrying enormous wooden poles (the "candles") with statues of saints balanced precariously on top.
