Perugia is the capital of Umbria and one of the most beautiful and historic cities in Italy. It is located a few hours away from Rome.
Its medieval architecture, the amazing archways, and the beautiful square make it unique. It also houses one of the most important universities in Italy.
Painting is an ancient medium and even with the introduction of photography, film and digital technology, it still has remained a persistent mode of expression.

We, of course, have our opinion of what makes the grade and we present them here in our list of the best paintings of all time.
