Umbria, the heart of Italy — April 2013

Come on a journey with us—exploring Etruscan hill towns that turned into city states; following the footsteps of people such as Saint Francis of Assisi, Fra Angelico, and Luca Signorelli; tuning in to the pulse of the land and the people at the soul of Italy. Taste the bounty of Italy's soil as we enjoy truffles, savor wines and indulge in cooking lessons. Let our University of Utah Italian expert Giuliana Marple guide you through her Italy not simply as a tourist, but as a scholar, connoisseur, and true Italophile.
