umbria italy

This region presents itself at first sight as a region where the numerous medieval cities blend with lush rolling hills. For this reason, Umbria is well known as the "Green Heart of Italy". This territory has a huge cultural patrimony from the priceless museums of Perugia, Todi, Foligno and Montefalco, to the modern art galleries in Città di Castello, as well as the specialised wine and ceramic museums respectively in Torgiano and Deruta. In Umbria there are also many aquatic resources such as Lake Trasimeno, Lake Piediluco, Lake Corbara and the river Tiber, the longest river that goes through the region from north to south.
