After a long day in Perugia we drove South to spend the night in Umbertide (communal sosta camper).

In the morning we headed to Citta di Castello. Because there was a street market on that day we had a great opportunity to get delicious panini con porchetta! Kids loved it too! But the impressions on the city were overlaid with the market stalls full if clothes, carpets, towels etc.

Sansepolcro, although much smaller than Citta di Castello, seemed more interesting to us.

Although Tuscany and Umbria were really tempting us to stay longer, the weather forecast clear our doubts. Six consecutive days of rain persuaded us to move North to stay nearby Ravenna where the rain forecast were much more acceptable (2 days with light precipitation in the next week).

Oh my!!! This city is a nightmare if you want to park a camper! There are probably no flat streets, just the ones going 25% uphill or downhill 😉 Anyway, after 40 minutes of sweating and swearing we drove politely to a parking for campers placed very far away from the centre, but at least it is easy to access. We walked to the train station and took the minimetro to reach the old town.

It was worth the efforts though! The buildings are not amazing, but their size and height made a huge impression… Actually lenses in our cameras were not wide enough to capture most of the arches and buildings…

We wanted to sleep somewhere nearby Spello but could not find a suitable place. They were all with beautiful view, buy too inclinated to spend a night. So we ended up sleeping just on the outskirts of Trevi, a small but interesting village.

Spello is well worth spending there a half of a day or a full one. Beautiful small and narrow streets, full of flowers and stone houses. And a playground at the gates to the historical centre. Everyone was happy 😀

Umbria is beautiful! Old and gorgeous!

As our heads were pretty busy the evening before, setting the plans for the next couple of months and return to Italy for living, I did not have time to prepare the sightseeing… That is why we ended up in two gorgeous cities like that on one day. Do not repeat our mistake and count a full day for each place. They deserve it!

We parked our van next to the stadium and the paid camper service, on a large and free parking about 10min walking (with kids) from the Roman amphitheatre.

After trying piadina romagnola at the Dry Bar (delicious!) We headed to Assisi for even more picturesque views.

Assisi said goodbye to us with rain and a rainbow.
