Summer Nooks&Crannies Tour

Yesterday was a perfect day for a traipse around Perugia’s historic center and about thirty Umbra students did just that, taking Umbra staff member Zach Nowak’s nearly world-famous “Perugia Nooks & Crannies Tour.” The tour started at the iconic Fontana Maggiore in the center of the main piazza but wandered into back alleys (like Via Alunni, where Perugia’s orphanage was) and even into the only vineyard inside the city’s Etruscan walls. Light on history but heavy on great views and semi-true historicalish anecdotes, the tour was just the right event for a Sunday afternoon.
