Norcia - perugia - umbria
we are found a little outside (about 4 km. [2.5 miles]) of the ancient roman town wall which is still intact and characteristic of the enchanting and magical city of norcia. norcia with its historic downtown rich with monuments and various works of art still retains its medieval splendor. it is extremely important to remember that st. benedict founder of western monasticism and patron of europe was born here in the 5th century.
for connoisseurs of good food and for exacting refined palates we give note that in norcia the most esteemed black truffle reigns supreme and uncontested hence the sublime quality of the local cuisine which still preserves intact the refined taste of umbrian cuisine and is the boast of italian culinary art being among the best of central italy.
