Gubbio

Gubbio is a town and commune int he far northeastern part of Umbria.  It is located not he lower slope of Mt. Ingino, a small mountain of the Apennines.

This weekend, they happened to have a Truffle festival!  Selling anything truffle you could think of ..

It is a beautiful medieval town, not too crowded, even with the festival, it was pleasant to visit with beautiful views overlooking the valley.
