Umbria, Perugia

Perugia, the capital, is one of Italy's best preserved towns, with a strong artistic and cultural tradition. A popular university town, it has a lively centre and plays host to some wonderful events and concerts ie Umbria Jazz.

Why the Perugia area

  • Wonderful base for exploring all parts of Umbria
  • Accessibl to Tuscany for excursions 

The fresco painters Perugino and Pinturicchio lived here, and their works are part of a comprehensive collection of Umbrian art displayed in the 13th century Palazzo dei Priori, or town hall, considered one of the finest secular buildings in Italy. The frescoes of Pietro Vannucci, Perugia's most important Renaissance painter, can be seen on the walls of the Collegio del Cambio, built in 1450. Perugia was founded by the Etruscans, who built the city walls and the imposing arched main gate of the city. It is also the site of the annual Umbria Jazz Festival, and home to the famous Perugina chocolates and Buitoni pasta.
