UMBRIA & CINQUE TERRE, ITALY

Can there be any place on earth more appealing than the hilly countryside of Tuscany and Umbria? In among the hills are fascinating ancient cities built by Renaissance geniuses of art and architecture. And if the splendor of the artists and perfectly preserved monuments of history are not enough to tempt you, then we dare you to resist the Tuscan and Umbrian gastronomic specialties. And of course to accompany these fine country delicacies you must try some of the region's superlative Umbrian and Chianti wines.
