Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Bradt's guide to Umbria & the Marche is the most comprehensive resource for exploring these two central Italian regions, which offer the beauty, history, and culture of Tuscany without the crowds and high prices. Authors Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, who lived in Umbria during the 1980s, bring their deep knowledge of the area's landscapes, hill towns, cuisine, and art. The guide highlights the remarkable art cities of Perugia, Orvieto, Urbino, Loreto, and Todi, where art permeates every church and palazzo. A dedicated chapter on Assisi, a key pilgrimage site, and the Valle Umbra, including Spoleto, the medieval capital of the Lombards, showcases the region's rich heritage. Beyond these urban centers lies unspoiled countryside with rolling olive groves, forests, and charming villages, each boasting its own masterpieces and family-run restaurants. The guide also covers the republic of San Marino and details the Marche's river valleys leading to the Adriatic, featuring sandy beaches from Senigallia to San Benedetto del Tronto. Landlocked Umbria offers stunning water features, including Lake Trasimeno and the Cascata delle Marmore. With expert recommendations and beautiful photography, this guide is an essential resource for discovering a more authentic side of Italy.
