| Umbria is the province nestled in
the center of this beautiful country. The capital is Perugia,
well known for delicious chocolates. It’s also home to
the city of Assisi, where Saint Francis lived his humble life
in love and kindness to others |

Umbria reminds us of the Italian
word, ombra meaning shadow.
Even though it’s one of the smallest provinces in Italy,
it is ready to be discovered and have all its’ treasures
uncovered. |

The church bells ring, it's six o'clock in
the morning and the small town begins to wake up. You stand
at the window and watch the sun creep over the distant hills.
Pink hazy light fills the horizon; within minutes, patches
of green come to life in the valley below. The piazza fills
with people greeting each other as they head off to work or
school. |

All over Italy, this is how the day begins.
Hundreds of medieval towns caught in the struggle to fit into
a fast-changing world while holding onto their unique charm.
People gather to share their opinions on world events as well
as sharing the small things that make up their daily lives.

| The Italians stop and take time to visit with
each other in person, sitting in piazzas or at a café,
life slows down and finds its roots.
The balance we all look for is here, at times intense with
passion, but always coming back to what's most important
- relationships. |
