UMBRA INSTITUTE IN PERUGIA

 

A big university town in a small Italian city, Perugia serves as the ideal backdrop for study abroad in Italy. Rich in art, architecture, and historical significance, it is internationally recognized as a city of learning. The Umbra Institute's many community partnerships make it an ideal place to get to know the real Italy and Italians.

Perugia is an ancient hilltop town between Rome and Florence and is home to artistic masterpieces, medieval churches and palaces. Within the city, you will find jazz cafes, concerts and art exhibits. Works by Pinturicchio, Guercino, Caravaggio and Raphael can all be found here.
