The Story of Perugia
WHEN but a little while ago we undertook to write a Òguide bookÓ to one of the better known towns of Central Italy, we realised perhaps imperfectly how wide and full was the field of work which lay before us. The ÒstoryÓ of Perugia is, like the story of nearly all Italian towns, as full and varied as the story of a nation. Every side-light of history is cast upon it, and nearly every phase of manÕs policy and art reflected on its monuments. To do justice to so grand a pageant in a narrow space of time and binding was, we may fairly plead, no easy task; and now that the work is done, and the proofs returned to the printer, we are left with an inevitable regret; for it has been impossible...
Perugia Guide, Umbria, Italy
Perugia Guide, Umbria, Italy. The History, and Travel Information. Lifted by a hill above a valley patterned with fields, where the river Tiber runs swift and clear, Perugia is Umbria's petite and immediately likeable capital. Its historic center, rises in a helter-skelter of cobbled alleys, arched stairways and piazzas framed by magnificent palazzi (mansions). History seeps through every shadowy corner of these streets and an aimless wander through them can feel like time travel. The closest tourist destinations to Perugia are the lovely pilgrimage town of Assisi just 20 minutes away by train and Lake Trasimeno. A circular tour of the Umbria region could take in a range of pretty historic towns: Assisi, Spello, Spoleto, Orvieto, Lake Trasimeno and Gubbio. There are also plenty of smaller towns and villages where travelers can potter and pass a pleasant couple of hours. Deruta is famous for its ceramics and is a good place to view Italian majolica in a museum and to buy in local shops.
A History of Perugia (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from A History of Perugia OR many people Perugia is simply the town of Perugino and of the Baglioni yet the Umbrian school of painting is a product of the Age of the Despots, and, except in name, the free Commune was a thing of the past before the Baglioni rose to power in the fifteenth century. The Perugia over which they lorded it had long since fallen from the position of an independent city-state to that of a mere provincial town whose history is quite without significance. The years of Perugia's greatest prosperity belong to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. During the first half of the Trecento her story comprehends not only that of the neighbouring communes she absorbed...
