What can you say about a region that has a 3,000-year-old history? Amazing! Umbria has contributed actively in Italy’s history and has one of the strongest cultural backgrounds in the country. Home to the world famous Benedictine monasteries from the Middle Ages, Umbra has been the hub of classical culture, Christianity, and philosophical and mystical musings. A well-recognised center for art and science, besides technical and agricultural developments, Umbria is also home to one of the oldest Universities (founded at the end of the 12 century) in Europe.
