Umbria |

|
The land of the origin of the mighty River Timber, Umbria is a small region located in the centre of Italy, forming, what can easily be said, the backbone of Italian tourism with the borders shared with Tuscany and Rome and other areas of the magnificent land of Italy. But amazingly this region of Umbria is still obscure to the tourists who are more fascinated by the Roman ruins of Rome and cultural extravaganza of Tuscany. Little do the tourists realize that Umbria is steeped in a historical past that gave the region its numerous fortresses, castles and palaces dotting the entire landscape, a culture of the people that give them the impeccable belief in modesty, an environment which has not got polluted with the weight of the innumerable kingdoms which the region stood witness to and a cuisine that will perhaps taste the best of what you have ever tasted.
