Perugia, Umbria, Italy -- A view of the maze of alleys and stone houses in the historic heart of the Etruscan and Medieval city of Perugia in Umbria, central Italy. Founded by the Etruscans on an ancient Umbrian settlement and subsequently conquered by the Romans, Perugia is one of the most loved and visited medieval Italian cities, rich in artistic and architectural treasures that span almost three thousand years of history. The Umbria region, considered the green heart of Italy for its wooded mountains, is characterized by a perfect integration between nature and the presence of man, in a context of environmental sustainability and healthy life. In addition to its immense artistic and historical heritage, Umbria is famous for its food and wine production and for the high quality of the extra virgin olive oil produced in these lands.

It would seem that the personnel at UNESCO also thought so, naming Siena a World Heritage Site in 1995, having appreciated that this extraordinary Medieval city has preserved its characteristics and qualities for so many centuries. More specifically, it was defined as “a masterpiece resulting from inventiveness and dedication in the way architecture is designed and embedded into the urban structure.”
