PERUGIA

In the spring wildflowers transform the rolling Umbrian countryside into a rainbow of colour, but still one?s eye is drawn upward, to the tops of the surrounding hills, to the walled towns perched above. Perugia, the capital of Umbria, is one of Italy?s best preserved towns, with a strong artistic and cultural tradition. The fresco painters Perugino and Pinturicchio lived here, and their works are part of a comprehensive collection of Umbrian art displayed in the 13th century Palazzo dei Priori, or town hall, considered one of the finest secular buildings in Italy. The frescoes of Pietro Vannucci, Perugia?s most important Renaissance painter, can be seen on the walls of the Coll egio del Cambio, built in 1450. Perugia was founded by the Etruscans, who built the city walls and the imposing arched main gate of the city. It is also the site of the annual Umbria Jazz Festival, and home to the famous Bacio Perugina.
