Welcome to the heart of Italy: with our guide to Umbria you will discover hills covered with expanses of olive trees, medieval villages, treasures of classical art, but not only that. Umbria has much more to offer. To really get to know her outside of the clichés, you just need to travel. Calling it “heart” is not (just) a rhetorical tool. Sandwiched between Tuscany, Lazio and Marche, Umbria is in the center of the peninsula. Lake Trasimeno, the course of the Tiber and the height difference of the Marmore Falls seem to have been created specifically to make the landscape of the region a spectacle.
The Dove guide on newsstands from Friday May 17 (price 8.90 euros) tells all the beauty of a region that always surprises. Traveling the less traveled paths and roads of this earth can lead to the discovery of other aspects that you may not yet know about. Gentle hills but also steep and wild mountains (a true paradise for those who love extreme sports). Fortified villages and landscapes and atmospheres frozen in the Middle Ages.

And again: very thick woods, churches and monasteries, vast museums and other small but great treasures just waiting to be discovered.

And after visiting the cities, we will move on to small villages, parks and the varied gastronomic and wine offer that boasts exquisite excellence. Moreover, a piece of advice: during the refreshment points along the route, be open to new things. Here, at the table, there are not only the “great classics”. This region which appears so tenaciously attached to its traditions has been able to amaze its guests with young chefs who have renewed local catering and climbed, through their creativity, in the rankings of renowned guides…
