Umbria, known as Italy’s “green heart” due to its lush landscapes, is celebrated for its simple yet flavorful cuisine.
Porchetta, a savory roasted pork dish seasoned with garlic, rosemary, and fennel, is a regional specialty. Another Umbrian classic is strangozzi pasta served with truffles, a luxurious delicacy found in the region’s wooded hillsides. Don’t miss the opportunity to sample Umbria’s olive oil, which is considered some of the finest in Italy.
Amidst the renowned cities and landmarks lie lesser-known treasures – small towns and villages that hold UNESCO status, each hiding unique cultural and historical significance.
