From 22 April on newsstands and online, a volume that crosses the region, the green heart of Italy, telling the story of its green areas, its rivers, its lakes and the unmissable attractions hidden among the woods and valleys. And then the villages, the sport, the street festivals, the paths, the cycle paths, the protagonists and the professions, as well as hundreds of tips on where to eat, sleep and buy typical local products.
The Guide will be presented on 29 April in Perugia at Palazzo Donini (11.30 am) with the President of the Umbria Region Donatella Tesei, The Vice President of the Umbria Region Roberto Morroni and the Director of the Repubblica Guides, Giuseppe Cerasa
The Sibillini Mountains National Park and the Monte Cucco Regional Park, the Monte Subasio Regional Park and the Lake Trasimeno Regional Park, the Nera and Tiber River Parks, up to the Colfiorito Park and the Territorial System of Naturalistic Interest and Environmental of Monte Peglia and Selva di Meana: the natural treasures of Umbria in a great story about all the beauty and goodness they have to offer. It’s the new Repubblica Guide.”Parks of Umbria: the eight wonders of nature”.
The volume, created in collaboration with the Umbria Region, the Natura 2000 network And Life Imagine, is opened by two unpublished stories by the writers Paolo Di Paolo And Antonio Pascale. We then move on to discover each of the natural areas, proposing the history, flora and fauna, before entering the villages and proposing itineraries in the greenery. This is followed by advice on sporting activities, traditions linked to street festivals and typical products. There is no shortage of advice on 266 unmissable tables, 91 homes where you can sleep to extend your stay and 100 tasty places where you can stock up on delicious local souvenirs. Finally, the recipes of 20 of the best chefs in the region.
“In the lands of San Francesco, Santa Rita, San Benedetto, the relationship between men and nature has always been a distinctive element, a symbol of silence, spirituality and respect for the environment” – writes the Director of the Repubblica Guides Giuseppe Cerasa: “This is why today Umbria with its painstaking green ramification is unique in the entire national panorama. The guide of Repubblica moves in the wake of this trend and has as its mission a constant exaltation of emotions and a persistent search for unrepeatable places and experiences, often close at hand but which are sometimes guiltily ignored. And what more than the parks and sites of the Natura 2000 network can lead you to the heart of the green heart of Italy?”
“Umbria, in reality, is a large open-air park in which nature surprises you with its beauty and vitality”he claims Roberto Morroni, Vice President of the Umbria Region and Councilor for Agricultural and Agri-Food Policies, Environmental Protection and Enhancement: “It is no coincidence, in fact, that the Umbria Region is the leading body of the Life Immagine project, whose slogan is the synthesis of a vision: ‘The future is in our nature’. A message similar and consistent with our Institutional Policies for Sustainable Development for the benefit of a territory in which there are 102 sites of the Natura2000 Network, which constitute approximately 16% of the green heart of Italy. Information on what is excellence in Umbria is the fundamental vehicle to allow, as a profitable outcome, the prestige and richness of the places, also thanks to greater tourist use. The intent is therefore to encourage the growth of the local economy, mainly in protected areas, with interventions aimed at protecting and safeguarding them. The Guide is part of this plan of dissemination to the general public who, I am sure, will not fail to become passionate about our region”.
