Just a few minutes away, among the gentle hills of the Montefeltro region and the green Marche countryside, lies URBINO, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998.
In this city of ancient history, the Renaissance shines with a light all its own, thanks to the splendid “Palace in the form of a city” that is the Ducal Palace, to the birthplace of Raphael, the Urbino-born painter, and to the Oratories of the Salimbeni Brothers, of San Giovanni and of San Giuseppe.
Culture meets the future of new generations through the presence of the dynamic, five-hundred-year-old “Carlo Bo” University. This area is also the homeland of the prized white truffle, that exquisite tuber, a fruit of the earth internationally esteemed for its fragrant aroma, which gives any dish an unmistakable touch.
