Umbria, `the Green Heart of Italy`, is a fascinating region of Etruscan & Roman monuments, medieval castles & cathedrals, & the Renaissance art of Giotto, Perugino & the young Raphael. Everywhere, vibrant cities, evocative hill-towns & tranquil villages are set amid glorious landscapes. This superb cultural guide makes the perfect traveller`s companion. Ian Campbell Ross tells the story of Umbria from the days of the ancient Umbri, a thousand years before Christ, through to the unification of Italy & up to the present day. He shows how Etruscans, Romans, early Christians & Longobards all left their mark, & how powerful city-states like Perugia, Spoleto & Orvieto, as well as smaller towns & villages, took pride in cultural achievements visitors still enjoy. St. Francis & his followers transformed Assisi into a spiritual centre embracing one of the greatest collections of late medieval & early Renaissance art & architecture in Europe. This thoroughly revised edition, newly illustrated, provides a compelling narrative along with chapters on the region`s art & the local food & wine.A gazetteer gives visitors full details of what to see in the cities, hill-towns & mountain & lakeside villages of one of Italy`s most beautiful regions. ...

When Patricia Clough bought a house in Umbria, she knew that buying her dream home did not mean that life would become a dream. By the end of this book, in which she describes the journey of making Umbria her home, she is sure that if one has basic requirements for being happy, then Umbria provides some of the best surroundings for happiness. Clough pores over Umbria`s enchanting countryside, its tumultuous history, its ancient culture & sumptuous food, & laments that for a long time Umbria was mistaken for its fashionable neighbour, Tuscany. This is not a guide to buying home a in Italy, nor a guidebook for your holiday
- though it would be useful as both of these things
- but a story in which a woman discovers & marvels at the place she begins to call home.
