TOP OF CHAPTER
Gubbio
POP 32,400
While most of Umbria feels soft and rounded by the millennia, Gubbio is angular, sober,
imposing and medieval through and through. Perched on the steep slopes of Monte
Ingino, the Gothic buildings wend their way up the hill towards Umbria's closest thing to
a theme-park ride, its open-air
funivia
.
