UMBRIA

In Umbria, a region that has gained a name for being the green heart of Italy, tourism is growing because of the natural beauties, the antiquities and the historic centres of the region. The quiet countryside, good wine and an inimitable cuisine are a pleasant extra. The main cities to visit are Perugia, Orvieto, Spoleto, Assisi, Todi, but there are also many charming little towns and villages such as Narni, Lugnano in Teverina, Ferentillo, Stroncone, Labro and Norcia that are well worth a visit. The vast ruins of the Roman city of Carsulae and the beautiful waterfalls of Marmore are very close to Terni.

Amelia

Amelia is sited on rolling hills, bordered on the north by thick woods and on the south by olive groves and vineyards. The walls originate from the pre-Etruscan period (700 BC) while the town has maintained its medieval plan without significant change in centuries. From the Roman period the most striking vestiges are the ancient cisterns and the statue of Germanico. The town people are charming and there are some good restaurants that serve typical Umbrian food.  Wine producers are all around and it is fun to go round the local Cantine.  The same can be done for the oil, the local production is the best in Italy.
