  • Perched villages, material knowledge and flavors of the earth in a continuous alternation of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance: from Perugia to Assisi, from Trasimeno to the Sibillini, from Spello to Orvieto, the Green Guide offers a slow journey through perhaps the most mystical and contemplative region of Italy, where the persistence of the ancient sometimes gives way to an unexpected fever of the new. The choreography of landscapes mapped out in this guide includes the flowering on the Pian Grande and the showers on the Marmore, the forest of San Francesco and the Nera valley, but also international events such as the Corsa dei Ceri in Gubbio, the Festival dei 2 Mondi in Spoleto and Umbria Jazz in Perugia.
