Umbria (-itˈumbrja) is a region of modern central Italy. It is one of the smallest Italian regions and the only peninsular region that is landlocked.

Its capital is Perugia.

Assisi and Norcia are historical towns associated with St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Benedict.

The official language, as in the rest of Italy, is Italian.

On 26th September 1997 an eathquake has seriously damaged Umbria and Marche, in Italy. The artistic patrimony suffered great damages. Nocera Umbra and Assisi were destroyed. The medieval tower of Foligno, which strongly resisted to many thousands of shocks crashing down seventeen days later (14 October, h.17,23 local time), is the symbol of the injured zone. Un violento terremoto ha seriamente danneggiato l'Umbria e le Marche il 26 Settembre 1997. Nocera Umbra è stata completamente distrutta; il patrimonio artistico ha subito danni incalcolabili. La torre medioevale di Foligno, che dopo avere miracolosamente resistito a centinaia di scosse è crollata dopo diciassette giorni (14 Ottobre 1997, h. 17,23), può essere considerata a ragione il simbolo della zona.
