Some of Italy's Best Country Travelling

Umbria is one of my favourite places in Italy. It is certainly one of the greenest regions I have been to. Highlights are numerous, with the most famous probably being the Basilica di San Francesco in Assisi. However, to really get to feel the heart and soul of the region, make your way round the tiniest of villages (where I promise you'll have a hard time trying to find a single foreigner), have a meal in a typical osteria and buy some of the local salami and cheeses.

It's a place that I will continue to go to, and I promise to build my pages up with more info and photos.

Was it gorgonzola di nonno you're talking about in Norcia's cheese? Make me laugh! Thank you.

How wonderful it would be to attend a performance in that Roman Theatre. The Basilica and Orvieto are wonderful. Fascinating about the caves. Interesting surrounding areas.
