🏛️ Umbrian Soul – Perugia, Italy

#mediterraneanvibes 📍 Perugia, Umbria Region, Central Italy — located between Rome and Florence, overlooking the Tiber Valley Perugia is a hilltop city with a quiet grandeur — a place where medieval arches, Renaissance art, and layers of Etruscan stone come together in harmonious rhythm. Known for its chocolate, jazz, and centuries-old charm, it holds the spirit of Umbria in every cobbled step and golden sunset. The Piazza IV Novembre is the city’s living heart, with its flowing Fontana Maggiore and soaring Gothic cathedral.
