About this experience
A medieval castle razed by French King Charles VIII. A possibly headless ghost. "Doors of the Dead" and other centuries-old superstitions. Join me on this self guided audio tour as we traipse around the charming, beautiful nooks and crannies of my adopted hometown, and coax the stones and bricks to reveal some of the secrets of this picturesque Umbrian village. This is a self guided audio tour with a personal touch. My husband Paolo is from here, so I am in a unique position to take you around this beautiful village I call home. Come with me as we roam the alleys and browse the piazzas of this quintessential Italian hilltop town.
