In attesa di ampliamento del testo in lingua italiana.

The recent earthquakes in a part of Umbria have been cause for concern for many different works of art and numerous frescoes preserved in old churches.
The Umbria region still preserves many frescoes in Perugia, Assisi, Spoleto, Orvieto, Montefalco, Spello and in several other towns.
In addition to well-known artists in the Renaissance there were many painters. Even the town less frequented by tourists have interesting artwork. For example there are beautiful works in the Palazzo Trinci in Foligno.

In addition to the painter Perugino there were other Umbrian artists: Bartolomeo Caporali, Benedetto Bonfigli, Nicolò Alunno, Pier Matteo d'Amelia, Andrea d'Assisi etc..The names of some good artists were unfortunately unknown. Some frescoes were moved on canvas and can now be seen in major museums.

Tourists can still choose from many beautiful routes.
