● We begin our tour with a guided visit to Perugia, a celebrated city of art with a medieval appearance, surrounded by a stunning landscape of hills, mountains, and plains.
● It is home to a university founded in 1308 and is famous for jazz and chocolate.
● We head to Narni, an ancient city rich in history, art, and tradition. After a stroll through the historic center, we have the chance to travel back in time by exploring Narni Sotterranea (Underground Narni), a complex of Byzantine chapels, Roman cisterns, Benedictine churches, and prisons used during the Inquisition.
● In the afternoon, we enjoy moments of tranquility at Lake Piediluco, a beautiful body of water resembling an alpine lake—emerald green in summer and snow-colored in winter. You will have free time to take a lakeside walk, go on a boat excursion, or explore the picturesque village.
● Today, we immerse ourselves in the medieval atmosphere of Bevagna, of one of the villages belonging to the circuit of "The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy." We visit artisan workshops where skilled craftsmen revive ancient trades within evocative settings.
● In the afternoon, we explore Spello, a charming village perched on a spur of Mount Subasio, characterized by ancient sandstone houses, narrow winding medieval alleys, and breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding hills.
● We visit Orvieto, whose origins date back to the Etruscan civilization and whose artistic and cultural heritage is among the richest in Umbria. We discover the Duomo, with its solemn space marked by towering pillars that create an exceptional sense of perspective, and St. Patrick’s Well, a masterpiece of medieval engineering.
● The day continues in a dreamlike and surreal place—La Scarzuola, a Franciscan convent founded by St. Francis of Assisi in 1218 and later purchased by Tommaso Buzzi in 1956. Next to the convent, Buzzi designed his "Ideal City," a collection of buildings, staircases, and monuments characterized by a surreal, labyrinthine, evocative, geometric, astronomical, and magical nature.
● Today is dedicated to silence and the contemplation of nature. We visit the Eremo delle Carceri, a sanctuary nestled in the dense forest of Mount Subasio, where St. Francis and his first companions withdrew in meditation. The name derives from the Latin carcer, meaning "a secluded and solitary place."
● Here, in addition to exploring the sites associated with St. Francis, we will be immersed in the silence and unspoiled beauty of this enchanting location.
● In the morning, we visit Spoleto, one of the most fascinating art cities in Umbria, with over 2,000 years of history, culture, and international events. We make our way up to Rocca Albornoz, which dominates the town.
● In the afternoon, we travel to Norcia, the birthplace of Saint Benedict, to attend an impressive falconry show.
● Nature takes center stage once again as we spend time at the Fonti del Clitunno, a splendid natural spring within a protected park. Considered sacred by the Romans, praised by Pliny the Younger, and celebrated by writers such as Corot, Byron, and Carducci, the Fonti del Clitunno offer a place to reconnect with nature in an atmosphere of sublime harmony.
● In the afternoon, we travel to Todi, where you will have free time to explore the town before meeting up for dinner.
