Umbria, the heart of Italy

This summer too we decided to do a nice tour by scooter, since we'd got a slightly bigger one (a 500 cc), and as proper, fully kitted-out bikers we disembarked at Livorno.

With panniers, top box and rain suits, off towards the land of St Francis. The region is really beautiful, there's a lot of greenery and on two wheels you can truly appreciate the pleasure of breathing pure air and taking the back roads that you might avoid by car so as not to make the trip too long.

From Assisi to Norcia, Cascia, Gubbio and Perugia.....all truly lovely. And what about the waterfalls...spectacular!
