Todi, Orvieto, Amelia
form a triangle of undeniable beauty and uniqueness.
Suffice to say that the first Italian people settled here
in this zone, "Umbrorum gens antiquissima Italiae"
(Plinio NH III, 112).
Umbria presents a series of typical medieval villages with
characteristics and natural resources that have remained to
this century, almost intact and without any form of industrialisation
or crime. These zones have been discovered recently by a narrow
elite of important personalities of the show business, cultural
and political world.
Not by chance an authoritative research made by the University
of Kentucky concludes that Umbria is the place where there
is the highest standard of living.
Few regions all over the world are so full of values more
and more desired and rare in everyday life like space, quiet
and time: the three peculiar characteristics of this region.
It is a boundless, but not infinite living space, characterised
by green hills, outlined by trees, mountains with cliffs,
streams, and fascinating falls.
Here there's a love for time, space built for people and environment
full but calm, also the living of a peaceful existence with
extraordinary history. But above all, the opportunity for
a rediscovery of the quiet in the hermitages of the woods
or tablelands, and also in the small art towns and in the
villages scattered everywhere. This quiet is respected and
enables awareness of oneself and of the others. These perspectives,
often lost from living "elsewhere, are the predominant
features that "Umbria for You" want to emphasise,
from their careful choice of residences. A choice aimed at
underlining, among many possibilities, the most essential
image of places where, amid the everyday tensions, we can
discover the pleasures of the life.
