If you would like to continue along Perugino discover, go to Città Della Pieve to Santa Maria de I Bianchi is the most beautiful fresco showing “la natività e l’arrivo dei Magi”.
Chiusi, the ancient city of King Porsenna, is a city of Etruscan origin.The tombs, which are very interesting, are visible in the surrounding areas. Not far is Montepulciano; the most beautiful Renaissance town in Italy. I advise you to go to the Avignonesi cellars to taste the fine wines and the Redi cellars the most beautiful in the world for Newseek..
Further away is Pienza the first small Italian city built according to a regular plan as The ideal town in the 17th century and one of the “Treasure of the humanity” for the UNESCO.To arrive in Pienza follow the indication to Montichielli, NOT to Pienza.
I'ensure you a beautiful charming trip.
On the other part of Lake Trasimeno is Cortona- under Tuscany Sun- At the museum of The Etruscan Academy there is the famous Etruscan lamp the oldest in the world.
You must visit in Perugia the “Rocca Paolina”, a curious item: A barbican built on 200 houses. Equidistant is Orvieto.

You can eat at the restaurant “Del Teatro”, if you‘re in the mood for some things more special go to “Tonino” (both expensive). A cheap restaurant is trattoria Dardano (close Wednesday) or Trattoria Toscana (better wines- closed Tuesday).
Near by, in Arezzo There is a good antiquity market the first Sunday of every month.
To continue the cultural tour you must visit in Perugia “La Pinacoteca”.
Equidistant (at almost 30 km) is Orvieto; the cathedral is stupendous The Well an emotion for adults and children. And recently they opened the “underground town” entrance not far from the cathedral. The small village would be pleasurable to live in for those in their twilight years. Continue to the extraordinary middle age quarter San Pellegrino in Viterbo passing through Civita di Bagnoregio.
There is still much to see: Siena, Assisi (The town of San Francis with the two churches one up the other and Gubbio to visit.

Arriving in Rome I suggest you the beautiful and restored with a unique Roman house inside at Museo di Roma just in front Termini Station on the left side. Be aware there is another museum in front of Termini much less interesting on the right-and if you go to “Fori imperiali” remember to ask a guide to see the “Senatus” .
