Uncovering the 'green heart of Italy', this work visits the Assisi, home of St Francis; explores medieval Gubbio, a gem to rival even Siena; and delights in the Renaissance treasures of Spoleto. It discovers the traditions and festivals of Perugia and Orvieto; and bounds up the Tiber Valley, taking in fine wines and the best olive oil.
This work: uncovers the bewitching, unspoiled 'green heart of Italy'; visits magnificent Assisi, home of St Francis; explores medieval Gubbio, a gem to rival even Siena; delights in the extraordinary Renaissance treasures of Spoleto; discovers the traditions and festivals of Perugia and Orvieto; and bounds up the Tiber Valley, taking in fine wines and the best olive oil in the world along the way 'Their devotion to Umbrian food can reach astonishing proportions: Umbrian teenagers on their summer language courses in England who had to be flown home after two days because they were starving to death; adventurous Umbrian diners who dared to enter a Chinese restaurant, but could only eat the rice; and our Umbrian landlord who went to Dalmatia on his honeymoon, found the pasta overcooked and returned to Terni, swearing he would never leave again as long as he lived.'
