Umbria & Le Marche
Medieval Towns
Perched snugly on their peaks like storks on chimneys, Umbria's hill towns - Perugia, Ass-
isi, Gubbio, Urbino, Spoleto, Todi - are the postcard-pretty protectors of local traditions.
Spectacular Views
Mountainous and wild, views come at you from all angles. Take the
funivia
(cable car) in
Gubbio for views over town and country, or strike out into the snowcapped ranges of Monti
Sibillini and the wildflower-flecked Piano Grande.
Forest Fare
Richly forested and deeply rural, the Umbrian larder is stocked with hearty flavours from
wild boar and pigeon to Norcia's
cinta senese
(Tuscan pig) salami and black truffles.
