Umbria
Assisi, Saint Francis’ Basilica
In Umbria the traces of the Etruscan civilization are
remarkable, as visitors can see in Todi, Bettona, Orvieto and Perugia. Spoleto
has important Roman remains; Spello is a city, where the Romans left some
impressive remains. Other important Roman works can be found in Assisi and
Gubbio. The Romanesque architecture thrived in thins region at the beginning
of the twelfth century: some beautiful examples are the Cathedrals of Spoleto
and Assisi, St. Silvestro and St. Michele in Bevagna. The Gothic style reached
very high levels, and imposing examples are present in almost every city.
The Renaissance can be seen in magnificent monuments in Perugia, Gubbio, Todi,
but it enjoyed a smaller development than other styles.
The region is mostly mountainous and hilly and presents a landscape
rich in woods and water resources. It is crossed by the Apennines, which form
numerous valleys. This region has a comparatively large lake: the Trasimeno.
