In the heart of Italy lies one of its oldest centres, Perugia, known for its vibrant social life, university heritage and much more
A modern city with traces of its prominent past around every corner: standing atop a hill in the Tiber valley, Perugia, the capital of Umbria, is a renowned city of art and an effervescent cultural centre. Built as a fortified medieval village, it is encompassed by a mighty city wall. It boasts top-notch museums and beautiful nature, not forgetting chocolate, which it produces and celebrates at the mouth-watering Eurochocolate festival.

04 FEBRUARY 2023 - 25 FEBRUARY 2023 Carnival of Putignano 2023
The Carnival of Putignano is the longest event in Europe because it starts on December 26th and ends on Shrove Tuesday, February 21st. It is among the oldest and longest-lived in the world.
The specificity of the Event is rooted in the origins of the Carnival which, in addition to the parade of majestic themed papier-mâché floats, is expressed through a series of rites, traditions and symbols of the territory's identity. In this sense, the Carnival of Putignano has become, over the years, a known brand and appreciated throughout Italy and abroad, simultaneously opening up to change and collaborations with other Italian and foreign carnivals.
