familiar from thousands of Renaissance paintings; Umbria has arguably the densest quality of works in Italy.

Cuisine - Umbrian Cooking
Umbria has always been a rural region and its cuisine reflects this with simple, flavoursome dishes made
from genuine ingredients. Local agriculture produces fresh fruit and vegetables, high quality olive oil, pork
products and tender beefsteaks, whilst the rivers furnish carp, trout, pike, tench, mullet and perch, and the
woods mushrooms of prize quality. Black truffles, lentils and cheese come from Valnerina and white truffles
from the Upper Tevere valley and Eugubino Gualdese. The hills are covered with vineyards which produce a fragrant wine to complement the healthy and appetising food.
