When Patricia Clough, a former foreign correspondent, bought a house in Umbria, she knew that buying her dream home did not mean that life would become a dream. By the end of this book, in which she describes the journey of making Umbria her home, she is sure that “if one has basic requirements for being happy, then Umbria provides some of the best surroundings for happiness.” Clough pores over Umbria's enchanting countryside, its tumultuous history, its ancient culture and sumptuous food, and laments that for a long time Umbria was mistaken for its fashionable neighbor, Tuscany. This is not a guide to buying a home in Italy, nor a guidebook for your holiday—though it would be useful as both of these things—but a story in which a woman discovers and marvels at the place she begins to call home.

Of all the romantic obsessions in novelist Lisa St Aubin de Teran's life, the search for a castle occupied her the longest - until she saw the magnificent Villa Orsola deep in the Umbrian hills. Only after eagerly signing the ownership papers did she and her husband, painter Robbie Duff-Scott, discover that they were the owners of a vast ruin, lacking windowpanes and parts of the roof, among other essential elements. Luckily, the local Italian parish of San Orsola boasts some of the most fertile soil and plentiful harvests in the world. And it wasn't long before the townspeople - who celebrate each season with enticing food and vibrant rituals - drew Lisa, Robbie, Lisa's teenage daughter and six-year-old son, and the two Irish au pairs known as "the Beauties" into their lives. From her first visit to Umbria, through the months of camping out with her family in the midst of the restoration of the villa by local craftsmen, to her daughter's wedding after the scaffolding came down one year later, Lisa St Aubin de Teran chronicles her life and the lives of her neighbors in a place where "all things are made to be as enjoyable as possible". A Valley in Italy is the story of the restoration in the grand style of an impossible house and of the charms of bohemian family life, as well as a rare portrait of the life of an Italian village. Lisa St Aubin de Teran's intuitive sense of place, her humor, her affection for the people around her, and her appreciation of native Italian grace make this a memorable book that can stand beside the best accounts of Italian life.

Perhaps it is the evocative nature of the place or a certain enchanted air (we might almost say "mystic") that you breathe to some extent everywhere, but sooner or later whoever visits Umbria ends up thinking: Saint Francis, that great, gentle, tender, and poetic Saint of happiness and humility could only have been born here in Umbria. In this place of ever-green, peaceful, and radiant nature, in these towns, the concept of "historical center" seems inadequate and reductive, so widespread is the monumental and artistic component in the cities of Umbria. Perugia, for example, the regional capital, to describe it is to lose oneself in the richness, complexity, and magnificence of its architectural and artistic treasures. This guide covers the region of Umbria, in Central Italy, called "the green heart of Italy." In detail, it covers Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, Passignano Sul Trasimeno, Orvieto, Spello, Spoleto, Todi.
