Welcome to Gubbio!

Gubbio is one of the pearls of Umbria, that offers itself to visitors from the panoramic terraces protecting it , with a spectacular view . Mount Ingino, the dearest relief for the inhabitants, towers over the city with its dominant Basilica of Saint Ubaldo, Bishop and patron saint of Gubbio. Gubbio The town, situated 522 a.s.l., has kept its medieval structure perfectly unaltered, with a stretched shape, and a few parallel streets standing out and crossing with small streets and lanes. The human presence in the territory of Gubbio is much older, though. In fact, ruins dating back to 100.000 years ago were found in the surrounding area. Afterwards, the roman age is testified by the Roman Amphitheatre: it is supposed that Gubbio has represented until the Imperial age the favourite holiday site for the Roman bourgeoisie and aritstocracy. With the coming of the Barbaric invasions, the information on the city became always rarer, and we must wait until the birth of the boroughs in the medieval age to know something. The art of ceramic is very rooted in Gubbio: in 1338, decorators and artisans even appointed a captain who would represent them inside the municipality council, and there were numerous shops where the masters could teach this ancient art. The most famous of these teachers was Mastro Giorgio , who found the way to embellish ceramics with beautiful props, among which the rubing.
