🏛️ Perugia: A 2,300-Year-Old Walk Through History

"Where Etruscan gates, Renaissance brushes, and student energy collide!" 🎨✨ ⏳ Layers of Time • 🏺 Etruscan roots → Roman Empire → Medieval city-state → Papal rule → Modern Italy • 🎨 Art legacy: Perugino founded the Umbrian School here—Raphael painted as his student! (1502-1504) • 🎓 Scholarly glow: Università degli Studi di Perugia (est. 1200!) still buzzing with students 📚 📍 Must-Stop Spots 1️⃣ Piazza IV Novembre 🏟️ Named after a WWI battle, still the city’s living room. 2️⃣ Cathedral of San Lorenzo ⛪ Houses "Mary’s wedding ring" 💍 (yes, really!). 3️⃣ Palazzo dei Priori 🏰 1291 Gothic gem with Siena’s gate keys as war trophies! Now the town hall. 4️⃣ National Gallery of Umbria 🖼️ Top-floor treasure trove of Perugino & Renaissance masters. 5️⃣ Arco Etrusco 🏛️ 2300-year-old gate—older than Caesar’s salad! Still standing proud. 🍷 Why Wander Here? • No crowds, just cobblestone poetry and hidden frescoes. • Student vibes meet slow-food trattorias 🍝 + Baci chocolate shops 🍫. • Every alley whispers: "Raphael might’ve doodled here..." ✏️ #PerugiaTimeless ⏳ #ItalyUnfiltered 🇮🇹 #RenaissanceWalk 🚶‍♀️ #EtruscanVibes 🏺 #HiddenEurope 💎
