    We have always wanted to explore Umbria, Tuscany's "cousin".
    To Henry James, Umbria was "the most beautiful garden in all the world."
    St. Benedict and St. Francis were born and raised here, then went on to
    become two of the most powerful influences on Western spirituality.
    Perugino and Raphael started their famous schools here, and still
    today the serene landscapes and picturesque hill towns look
    almost as they do in canvases painted four hundred years ago.
    Five years from now Umbria will be all the rage.
    Today it is still a tranquil jewel, almost never crowded, frequented by the connoisseurs
    and pathfinders who always find the best places before the masses even know they exist.
