Titignano is well off the beaten track, about half an hour from the beautiful town of Orvieto with its 13th century Duomo and bustling open market, which we visit to load up on local delicacies. We also visit Perugia, the historic hill top regional capital, and Bar Sandrini, where we sit and sip the most delicious coffee and sample the famous local speciality, rich yellow pane di formaggio. |
