Its particular beauty consists precisely in its ability to harmonize the centuries lived with great elegance. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have appropriated the historic center (a half-day visit to Perugia), you can arrange a guided tour in search of the great masters who made it great.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certainly, to understand the particular role held by the city in the second half of the fifteenth century, it is worth remembering its geographical position between <strong>Florence<\/strong>, <strong>Rome<\/strong> and, in general, the <strong>Marche<\/strong> region.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same routes taken by merchants allowed great painters to frequent and enliven the city&#8217;s cultural environment. Pietro Vannucci, known as Perugino, was undoubtedly the most famous fruit of this intense vitality. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our visit thus allows us to learn about some of the great masterpieces of the Renaissance in Perugia.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beginning with the <strong>Collegio del Cambio*<\/strong>, the most important work created by Perugino. Here is preserved the portrait of Perugino himself and, hidden among the faces of the prophets, also that of Raphael. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will find both again in the <strong>Chapel of San Severo*<\/strong> in the heart of that neighborhood, <strong>Porta Sole<\/strong>, which even Dante had celebrated for the breadth of its panorama.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our route reaches, at the end of the <strong>Porta Santa Susanna<\/strong> neighborhood, the<strong>Oratory of San Bernardino<\/strong> with its fine facade sculpted by the Florentine master Agostino di Duccio.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, still on the trail of the Renaissance in Perugia, you cannot miss a guided tour of the <strong>National Gallery of Umbria.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(*) entrance fee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1901,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categoria-tour":[163],"class_list":["post-3992","tour","type-tour","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-tour-guided-tours-in-perugia"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tour\/3992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tour"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tour"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria-tour","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria-tour?post=3992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
