Great views, Apennine mountain air, historical sites, medieval lore, saints and sinners, plus vino, pasta–and more vino and pasta. Following are scenes photographed by Andy Yemma with a Nikon D3400 SLR Digital camera from Oct 8-10, 2918:
A quirky horse sculpture on display in Perugia
Yum yums for snacking in Perugia
Unsure what the sign is trying to say about the martinis here
Excellent pasta dish in Perugia
One of dozens of cheese and meat shops in Umbria, this one in Spello
Another quirky though beautiful sculpture in Spell
Sculpture in Assisi of the wealthy parents of St. Francis who by most accounts were not very nice
In Gubbio, a sculpture of St. Francis of Assisi befriending a wolf – a miracle that is said to have happened here
A poster in Gubbio depicting a very quirky local annual event (May 15) when the guys race up the mountain with these ginormous statues
View over the wall from the main plaza in Gubbio. The spikes are not to keep out barbarians, but to keep modern barbarians from sitting on the wall!
Enormous oak cask in Gubbio that the friars built in the 17th Century. Last filled with wine in 1939, it could hold 20,000 liters
The town center in Gubbio with high bell tower. Unlike most towns in Umbria, Gubbio never engaged in any medieval wars
Although tourists come to Gubbio, it is less traveled than towns like Assisi and Perugia
