Synopsis
Umbria is called the ¿green heart of Italy¿. Not as famous as neighboring Tuscany, its timeless charms attract loyal visitors year after year, drawn to a bewitching, beautiful, unspoilt region. Having lived in Umbria for three years, Cadogan's Italy experts Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls take visitors to the heart of the region showcasing, magnificent Assisi--the home of St. Francis, Gubbio--a medieval gem that's said to rival Siena, and the extraordinary Renaissance treasures of Spoleto. Explore the festivals and traditions of Perugia and Orvieto along the Tiber Valley, taking in fine wines and the best olive oil in the world on the way. Fully revised to include more maps and eye-catching color photography, it also features updated, detailed listings of markets, vineyards, hotels, and restaurants--all serving the hearty traditional food Umbria is renowned for.

From the Back Cover
Gentle Umbria, the mystical birthplace of St Francis, would seem remarkably familiar to him now - olives and vineyards carpeted in wild flowers; pink granite farmhouses; the lush Tiber valley, Apennine forests and glassy Lake Trasimeno where he preached to the birds; and the beautiful hill towns of Gubbio, Perugia, Spoleto, Orvieto, Todi, and his own native Assisi. Cadogan's thoroughly researched guide will make sure you don't miss a beat in Italy's "Green Heart", whether you seek the masterpieces of the Umbrian school of painting, the landscapes of Perugino, or simply the best place to tuck into a dish of homemade cirioli with truffles.This guide includes practical travel advice; over 150 hand-picked places to stay; over 90 restaurants, bars & cafes; 18 maps & site plans; stunning color photography and touring map sections; essential information on art galleries, vineyards and local festivals. (5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 284 pages, color photos, maps, illustrations), markets and scenic touring routes. (5 3/4 x 8 1/4, 256 pages, maps, illustrations)
