Italy : Umbria & The Marches - Grand Format

Framed by dramatic mountains and the sparkling Adriatic coast, the neighbouring regions of Umbria and the Marche offer historical and cultural interest to rival the rest of Italy. Lofty medieval hill towns and castles dot the landscape, where vines, truffles and olives grow ; in between nestle lakes, Roman ruins and exceptional art cities crammed with Renaissance masterpieces. Follow in the footsteps of St Francis in UNESCO-listed Assisi, admire Orvieto's magnificent duomo and go sailing on peaceful Lake Trasimeno.
Visit Urbino's mighty Palazzo Ducale, hike the Grande Anello dei Sibillini and relax on San Benedetto del Tronto's palm-fringed Blue Flag beaches. Additional online content and updates at www.bradtguides.com/updades.
