Beautiful places: Gubbio

Beautiful Places

I’ve decided to start a new weekly write up called: Beautiful places, in which I’ll be featuring photos of nice towns, beautiful places I’ve had the fortune to visit. This week’s Beautiful places: Gubbio.

I’m starting this week with one small, ancient town called Gubbio. It’s located in the North-East part of Umbria and it’s mostly surrounded by mountains. Gubbio is rich of history and art. This town was founded by the Umbri with the name of Iguvium approximately  around the I-II b.C. and it became one of the most beautiful and rich municipalities in Italy in the Middle Ages thanks to its magnifique monuments and pieces of art.

The Roman theatre is considered the most important building in Gubbio, it reminds us of the beauty and the past glory of this town. Other important monuments that can be found in Gubbio are Il Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo  (the People Captain’s Palace) and Il Palazzo del Bargello, the old police corp’s building with the famous Fontana dei Matti (the crazy people’s fountain.) Nowadays, if you decide to turn around the fountain three times and get wet by the water in the fountain, you can obtain a very special license. The license for Honorary Nutcase of the city of Gubbio. Interesting uh? would you like to gain this title?  I have a few people in mind I would like to give this title to!  LOL!

I personally loved everything about this town, its old buildings, the beautiful boutiques that sell all kinds of local things, but most of all I love the atmosphere that surrounds Gubbio. Walking around this town makes me feel like I just went back in time, back to the Medieval times and I can almost imagine myself walking around the town, crossing paths with women going to the market, horses drinking at the trough and lords of the town strolling around talking about politics. How I wonder how they’re life really was…

    I think that is such an awesome idea. I love viewing photos of different places around the world, and especially since you’ve had the opportunity to visit these places is even better.

    Hi Erika, sure is a beautiful place and so are you! Thanks for linking up at the Project Parade Linky Party and hope to see you next week. Rosemary

Welcome

Ciao!

My name is Erika, I’m 29 years old, half Canadian and half Italian, I am proud of being both and I never introduce myself as only one or the other. I’m based in Toronto, Canada, but you’ll see me travelling all over the world. On this blog I’m going to share my own, personal style, my favourite beauty products and everything and anything I like or just feel like writing about. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay on my blog!

I have a healthy (because I say so) / unhealthy ob I have a healthy (because I say so) / unhealthy obsession with scones! I have been looking and making scones for so long and I don’t think I’ll ever stop because scones are the best! Especially topped with clotted cream and jam 😍 all this to let you know I found really good ones in Toronto at @kittenandthebear and I recommend you go try them if you’re as passionate about scones as I am! Now… where’s my tea? 🤔…. ❤️ enjoy!

I spent the last 18 days with my family and friend I spent the last 18 days with my family and friends. I visited my favourite cities, laughed with some of my favourite people and enjoyed my beloved spring, sunny days. 
I left 18 days ago, doubtful and uncertain of the future and I leave soon full of hope. Now it’s time to go. But I go knowing that I will be back soon.
I also need to go check on my cat.
