Umbria
Just the name, Umbria, immediately called
to mind Saint Francis - the great, gentle, tender Saint of happiness and meekness could
only have been born here.
In these places of ever-green nature, in these towns where the concept of “historic
centre” seems inadequate given the widespread nature of the monumental and artistic component of the region... Perugia, for
example.
From the Etruscan walls to the Palazzo
Gallenga, seat of the prestigious University for Foreigners, and many other buildings
and historic monuments around Piazza IV
Novembre, with its Fontana Maggiore and
Palazzo dei Priori. Even Terni, a flourishing
industrial city, boasts jewels such as the churches of St. Salvatore and St. Francesco and,
close by, the masterpiece of nature that is
the Marmore Waterfalls.
And what we can said for Gubbio, rich with
Franciscan memories and monuments from
the medieval and Renaissance periods. And
then Todi, Spello, Spoleto (the venue of a
prestigious Festival), Orvieto, Città di Castello and many other small towns overstated with monuments, palaces and churches
of high artistic merit.
At the end Assisi, the birthplace of Saint
Francis and Saint Clare, one of the most famous and most visited places of pilgrimage
in Christianity. A place full of spirituality...

its gender. Sicily. Colours, music, art, tastes,
seas, sun, in this place it is possible to satisfy
all the human senses.
In the towns of this spectacular region weave together the history and the culture of
the oldest peoples, leaving their sign in the
artistic masterpieces, architectonic and in
the traditions that still today are live on this
land. Agrigento with its Valley of Temples,
Selinunte, Segesta, Syracuse with its magnificent Greek Theatre. But not only this.
Moreover Palermo, Catania, Messina all ci
ties in which it is possible to admire
fantastic churches and sumptuous palaces.
Talking about tourism of elite, Taormina represents the pearl of this region.
Also the tastes of Sicily are famous for its
strong contrasts; from the aromatic cakes,
typical of this land, Sicilian “Cannoli ”,
the “Cassata”, to the African courses as
the “couscous” of San Vito lo Capo, from
perfumed wines to the good quality of the
tunnies of Favignana island (well-known
for the tuna killing). Is there some reasons
because of the Sicily is (after the Tuscany)
the Italian region with much more human
heritage of the Unesco?
