About Perugia
Perugia is the capital city of the Umbria region in central Italy, near the Tiber river.
In tourist literature Umbria is sometimes called "il cuore verde d'Italia", i.e. the green heart of Italy. The phrase, taken from a poem by G. Carducci, is quite appropriate since the modern administrative region is the only one to have neither a coast nor a border with a foreign country, and is famously green.
The region is named from the Umbri tribe who settled there in protohistoric times (6th century BC).
Perugia is a notable artistic center of Italy: it first appears in written history as Perusia, one of the twelve confederate cities of Etruria, in about 300 BC.
It is also only 20 km away from Assisi, the city of St. Francis.
Perugia is home of major universities, laboratories and institutes of INFN (Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics), the governative organization funding fundamental research in the fields of subnuclear, nuclear, and astroparticle physics – as well as of the prestigious University for Foreigners – the oldest one in Italy – for the diffusion of Italian language and civilization.
