UMBRIA
Vol. 9, No. 6 Italy
July / August 2004
Umbria, which begins about an hour’s drive north of Rome and ends along Tuscany’s southern border, is geographically at Italy’s heart. These lofty hills and misty green valleys cradle a series of small, historic hilltop towns with a unique collection of Roman, Medieval and Renaissance art treasures. Home to St. Francis of Assisi and the Benedictine monks, the region is known for its many famous saints and the splendid frescoed churches that were built to honor them. The issue explores the best of Orvieto, Todi, Spoleto, Assisi and Perugia! Which scenic villa hotel makes the best base for touring, which hilltop restaurants have the best terraces, views and food, and which season is prime? The answers can be found in the Umbria issue of The European Traveller. Subscribers may also be interested in the issues on Tuscany (Vol. 9, No. 3), Rome (Vol. 8, No. 1) and Florence (Vol. 7, No.3).
Special Note: Photos in printed issues are not in color. Back issues are non-refundable.
