36 Hours in Perugia

Luckily our students get to stay longer, but it was nice to have the recognition of being one of Italy’s (and, heck Europe’s) best places to visit. The New York Times travel section gave a shout-out to Perugia, describing a charming thirty-six hour itinerary through Umbria’s capital and the Umbra Institute’s home. Have a coffee at Sandri, go see how chocolate is made at the Perugina factory, and have lunch at Franky Banana’s restaurant (just around the corner from Umbra’s Bartolo building, and a a staff favorite).

Again, nice to have the kudos from NY–but we knew it all the time!
