May 21, 2023 – the departure of our next trip. This time we travel to Italy, more specifically, to Umbria - the 'green heart of Italy'.
The green, hilly landscape is rough and hardly affected or modernized, making it seem as if time has stood still here. The medieval towns and villages with monumental monasteries and churches are displayable reminders of Umbria's rich cultural history. The region is named after the 'Umbri', a tribe that settled in this area in the sixth century BC. Umbria is also the heart of the black truffle industry and the 'Baci Perugia': a chocolate bonbon!
