TerniCascata delle MarmoreRoman-made waterfall, 165-meter triple drop, scheduled releases, Byron's versesRoman engineers sent a river off a cliff in 271 BC, and the Marmore Falls have thundered on schedule ever since. The 165-meter triple cascade is loosed at posted hours, rainbow included on sunny afternoons.
OrvietoDuomo di OrvietoGolden mosaic facade, Signorelli's Last Judgment, Corporal of Bolsena, striped naveOrvieto's facade blazes with mosaic and carving, a Gothic altarpiece the size of a cliff. In the San Brizio chapel, Signorelli's muscular Last Judgment gave Michelangelo his cue.
AssisiUNESCOBasilica di Santa ChiaraSaint Clare's tomb, San Damiano crucifix, pink-striped Gothic, flying buttress profilePink and white stripes and great flying buttresses mark Clare's basilica across town from Francis's. Inside hangs the San Damiano crucifix that spoke to him, kept by the order she founded.
PerugiaPalazzo dei PrioriNational Gallery of Umbria, Perugino rooms, Gothic civic might, Sala dei NotariPerugia's crenellated town hall has run the city since 1297 and now houses the National Gallery of Umbria upstairs. Perugino and Piero della Francesca anchor a collection that explains everything Raphael learned here.
PerugiaFontana MaggiorePisano father and son reliefs, medieval encyclopedia in marble, aqueduct endpoint, pink and white basinsNicola and Giovanni Pisano carved the months, sciences and fables around this two-basin fountain in 1278, a stone encyclopedia at the city's summit. It still marks the end of the medieval aqueduct that climbs through Perugia's lanes.
OrvietoPozzo di San PatrizioDouble-helix staircases, 53-meter Renaissance well, mule-traffic engineering, Sangallo designAfter the Sack of Rome, a nervous pope ordered Orvieto a siege-proof well, and Sangallo sank one 53 meters with twin spiral stairs that never meet. Mule trains descended one helix and rose the other, water-laden, without collision.
SpoletoDuomo di SpoletoLippi's last frescoes, sloping piazza approach, Romanesque facade with mosaics, Festival dei Due Mondi stageA long ramp of a piazza descends to Spoleto's cathedral, the most theatrical approach in Umbria, used exactly so by the Festival of Two Worlds. Filippo Lippi finished his life painting the apse's Coronation of the Virgin.
TorgianoGemma nascostaMuseo del Vino di TorgianoA private museum in Torgiano established in 1974 by winemaker Giorgio Lungarotti, occupying 19 rooms of archaeological, ceramic and ethnographic collections devoted to the culture of wine.

TerniGemma nascostaCarsulaeA Roman city founded around 220 BC along the Via Flaminia, now an archaeological park about 4 km north of San Gemini with temples, a theater, amphitheater and baths, open to the public with a visitor center.
GubbioPalazzo dei ConsoliEugubine Tablets, cliff-supported piazza, Gothic civic palace, ceri race traditionGubbio's grey Gothic palace rises from a piazza held over the void on great arches. Inside are the bronze Eugubine Tablets, the longest text in any ancient Italic tongue, and the balcony view runs to the Apennines.
SpelloCappella BaglioniPinturicchio's frescoed jewel, maiolica floor, Annunciation self-portrait, Spello's flower lanesPinturicchio frescoed this small chapel in Santa Maria Maggiore with his richest color, hanging his own portrait in the Annunciation. The Deruta maiolica floor of 1566 completes Umbria's most concentrated room of beauty.
OrvietoGemma nascostaNecropoli del Crocifisso del TufoAn Etruscan necropolis below Orvieto with over 200 tuff-stone tombs (8th-3rd centuries BC), many bearing inscribed family names, visitable via Porta Maggiore.
