Umbria is one of Italy's most unspoilt regions. It is often referred to as the "Green Heart of Italy" due to its beautiful woodlands and rolling hills. It truly looks like a post card perfect world. Umbria is one of the only landlocked regions in Italy. It is bordered by Marches, Latium, and Tuscany. Umbria has the fourth lowest population of the twenty Italian regions at about 826000 persons.
Approximately 40% of Umbria is covered in beautiful woodland area. Stands of olives grow sporadically across the region and beautiful villas dot the country side. Small villages and romantic medieval castles capture the hearts of visitors. Numerous small rivers and streams flow through the picturesque region. The bubbling springs of Clitunno, which are formed by the waters of the river Topino are a popular tourist destination. Also popular are the Marmore Falls where tourists come for the beneficial mineral waters that cascade gloriously down the mountain side.
While the beautiful countryside does a great deal to draw tourist to Umbria, it is its art and history that captures the imaginations of people from distant lands. Umbria is the host to many wonderful artistic and historical relics. Beautiful examples of medieval and Renaissance art can be found in nearly every small town. Wonderful frescos such as those in the famous St. Francis basilica are well preserved and lovingly adored by the people of the region. Churches, governmental, buildings, and theatres from the Roman Empire to the High Renaissance still stand virtually unchanged by time as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of man. Tourist may also enjoy a visit to any number of ceramic, pottery, and artisan studios in the region for a glimpse of old world hand crafting techniques still in use today. Umbria is also home to many museums and cultural centres that cater to the educational interests of visitors.
