Perugia is the capital of Umbria and is one of the most underrated cities in Italy. It is also a university city, so it’s no wonder its streets are vibrant and full of life. Perugia is characterized by the presence of walls surrounding the city, dating back to different historical periods: the oldest erected in the Etruscan era and the most recent date back to the medieval period. We recommend giving the National Gallery of Umbria a visit, the collection features the likes of Pinturicchio, Fra’ Angelico, Piero Della Francesa, and of course, Perugino. Perugia hosts the world-famous chocolate festival, so if you’re visiting Italy in October, make sure to add Perugia to your shortlist of places to visit. Once you have visited Perugia and its rich cultural heritage, you can continue towards Rasiglia, a medieval village at over 600 meters above sea level. Its raison d’etre is: water. A mill, a fulling mill, and some houses in the village were owned by the Trinci family who took advantage of the precious presence of water, gave life to those activities that for centuries then guaranteed the life of the whole community. In Rasiglia, everywhere, every path is marked by water.
