Northeast of Tuscany, the mountainous
region of Umbria presents an enticing combination of urban and rural, modern
and medieval, tranquil and bustling. Umbria's capital city, Perugia,
was originally built by the Etruscans and is home to some of the region's most
innovative architecture, as displayed by the Renaissance-era Rocca
Paolina Fortress, the Priori
Palace and numerous churches such as the Duomo
San Lorenzo and the Basilica
of San Domenico. Perugia's nightlife and shopping cater to city's contemporary
youth culture, provided by both the University
of Perugia, one of Italy's oldest, and the University
for Foreign Students.
Listed as a World Heritage Site, the Basilica
di San Francesco (consisting of two churches—an Upper and a Lower), lures
many visitors to Assisi
— its hilltop location and surrounding view almost as much of a draw as the
churches themselves, and nearby Gubbio
hosts the annual Corsa
dei Ceri, an age-old tradition involving three, 400-kg (900-lb) statues
of the city's patron saints, a race through the city and crowds of frenzied
people.
