Dettagli
Perugia, capital of Umbria region, was founded by the Etruscans around 7th century BC. The historic center and the main monuments of the city date back to medieval and Renaissance times but there are also important testimonials of the most ancient Etruscan epoch such as the Arch of Augustus, “Porta Marzia” and the Etruscan Well.
Perugia, central Italy crossroad and place of happy encounter between various artists from the Marches, Tuscany and Rome, preserves palaces and monuments of great historical and artistic interest such as the “Rocca Paolina” (Pope Paul’s Fortress), the “Palazzo dei Priori” (Governorship Palace) with the adjoining “Sala dei Notari” (Noble council Chamber), the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and the “Fontana Maggiore” which to this day is still recognized as heart and symbol of the city. In Perugia many famous artists lived, worked and left their mark on world culture, such as Raphael, Pinturicchio, Perugino, Caporali, Beato Angelico, Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, Arnolfo di Cambio and many others. Many of the city's most important art works are preserved in the National Gallery of Umbria located on the upper floor of Palazzo dei Priori, which surely deserves a visit.
