Excerpt from Perugino

Monte Luco, while the Tiber passes far away down another valley, wide and tender, to Todi, turning at last, within five miles of Orvieto, southwards to Rome. A country of distances, you may think, in which the little cities on their bills become just a part of the landscape - a true country place really, without a great city, for the little towns among the mountains, Gubbio, Fabriano, Camerino, and the rest, are even less important than Perugia, that strangely inaccessible city, rugged, fierce, and almost without intellectual or commercial life, which is still the chief city of Umbria. It was in this spacious world, fulfilled with all the largeness and strength of Latin earth and yet so delicate and blessed, where the slim cypresses tower over the olive gardens, and evening passes slowly down the valleys, that Pietro l'erugino was born about the year 1446.
