À propos du livre
Umbria is a rich and fertile land in the heart of Italy that gifts breathtaking views to both passing visitors and those who choose to make it home. Yet the image of Umbria is often overshadowed by its neighbours. Tuscany has the countryside; Rome has the monuments and Marche has the manufacturing industry. But what about the plains of Colfiorito, Orvieto’s Cathedral or the regional dish – pasta alla norcina? This book is an invaluable journey that will lead you to meet incredible people that make this region of Italy so special. Like the two young men in Assisi who own a marble quarry creating visionary works of art, working tirelessly day and night. Or a group of mystery investigators venturing an old castle to listen to ghost stories and Umbrian folklore. Or the young fisherman who wakes up every morning at dawn and is able to immediately recognise the airflow as the Tramontana north wind. The craftsmanship and stories celebrated in this book are an inspiration, a model to follow, and a way to rediscover this beautiful region of Italy.
