IN THE HEART OF ART, SURROUNDED BY NATURE – Central Italy, traveling in Umbria and Marche

Two regions covered by the Apennine mountains, which become gently rolling hills, until it touches the Adriatic Sea, where you expect a fine sandy, what you can see from the promontory of Monte Conero. When this headland you shall keep the sun falling asleep to the west, it will also be the wonder of green hills covered with vineyards and ancient villages and towns. In all these places we speak of the Italian Renaissance, along with the stories of powerful lords and the creations of art, which have filled their splendid courts. http://www.italiantouristboard.co.uk/

Umbria you will donate the basilicas of Assisi (where Giotto, Lorenzetti and Simone Martini left our eyes the wonder of their frescoes), the hills of Lake Trasimeno, with the charming Città della Pieve (where he was born Perugino, a great painter who left his gifts in these places), the facade of the cathedral of Orvieto (splendid example of Italian Gothic architecture), but also the National Park of Monti Sibillini (with excursions and sports activities in all seasons of ‘year). http://www.umbriatourism.it/en/homepage

When you arrive in the Marche, do not miss the opportunity to add to your memories two special places in Urbino and Ancona. The Ducal Palace in Urbino (with its two exquisite Torricini), is a symbol of the city and the lordship that made these places famous, the Montefeltro). The Cathedral of San Ciriaco (which dominates the Colle Guasco the city of Ancona), was born in the twelfth century, giving every visitor to its staircase and the stone portal red and white of Mount Conero. http://en.visit.marche.it/
