This tour of Umbria features places that could be ideal destinations for day trips from Rome.
First the Etruscan (and Medieval) town of Orvieto, then the hill town of Todi. North of Todi, there is the town of Deruta, one of the world capitals of ceramics, well known for its production of refined maiolica.
