Umbria, the green heart of Italy
Changing and unspoiled landscapes immersed in the green of winding valleys make the region of Umbria a region that never ceases to amaze us. The charm of Umbria comes from the fusion between art and nature, the peace and serenity which inspire its places evoking Renaissance masterpieces and medieval villages set in the hills.
