Monte Cucco

Autumn in Umbria: Truffle Markets, Olive Festivals and Sagre with Chestnuts on Crackling Fire

Umbria is so beautiful in autumn, with the leaves turning a range of colours from ochre to brown and the ever-changing spectacle of the sky.

At this time of year I love to take a walk in one of its natural parks, such as the Bosco di Monte Cucco or near Lake Trasimeno. Did you know that more than forty per cent of Umbria is covered in forest, making it the green heart of Italy?

The delicious produce of the woods is celebrated with truffle markets, olive harvest festivals and sagres (village feasts) with chestnuts on a crackling fire. Markets in Umbria >

Performance at Teatro Morlacchi in Perugia, view from balconies

Teatro Morlacchi: A Magnificent Italian Theatre in Perugia

If you're looking for a special evening out in Perugia, I'd highly recommend a concert or opera at the recently restored Teatro Morlacchi.

Paintings, gold decorations, crystal chandeliers and the many small boxes, each with its own entrance, make a concert here a unique experience. A place where the Perugini meet and socialise before the beginning of the show.
