Five store for men not to be missed

By Federico Galli

Called the green heart of Italy, Umbria is an enchanted region, entirely crossed by the Umbrian Marche Apennines.

Famous in the world for its hills, its medieval cities and its cuisine, where truffles and wine play a leading role.

Landlocked, the region offers pristine and romantic landscapes and natural wonders such as Lake Trasimeno and the Marmore Falls.

Rich in art, history, culture and spirituality, Umbria is an ideal place to discover and enjoy for visitors from Italy and all over the world.

The capital, Perugia, rises in the hills and hosts Palazzo dei Priori, home to the National Gallery of Umbria. Enclosed by the Etruscan walls, it is a city rich in history and charm and it hosts two important international events such as Umbria Jazz and the Eurochocolate gastronomic event.

Todi, a splendid city of art, stands on the top of a hill overlooking the Media Valle del Tevere. Refined and welcoming, it offers a unique and familiar atmosphere so as to boast the title of the most liveable city in the world.

Spoleto, surrounded by hills, olive groves and vineyards, is small but enchanting; it is a concentrate of history and artistic beauties. Among his best known admirers also the writer and philosopher Hermann Hesse who during his travels in Italy remained completely fascinated.

Gubbio is a picturesque village located on the slopes of Mount Ingino, and it preserves all its medieval charm, representing one of the most beautiful cities in the region.

Terni is active, dynamic and industrious, it is located on the banks of the Nera river and the Serra stream and it is the perfect centre of the Italian peninsula. It gives birth to Valentine's Day, the protector of lovers and patron of the city.
