umbria italy

Norcia is a town for all seasons and it's renowned for its gastronomy. Here, nature and culture represent an inseparable binomial and the history of the territory is often interlaced with the history of men and with the traces they have left. Norcia is also a series of meetings articulating town's life: from the Truffle Festival (an International Market of featuring prized black truffles and typical other products) to the prose season at the Municipal Theatre, from the celebrations in St. Benedict's honour to the "Norcia's Summer events", from the artistic shows to the sporting and musical manifestations, from the congresses of national level to the exhibitions of popular traditions.
