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.

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.
