Tom: - Whoa! I'm going to the centre of the world this summer!"

Jen: -Ooh! I bet it will be roasty toasty! Uhm...So, where is it exactly?"

Tom: - Foligno!

Jen: - Foolin...What?

Tom: - No foolin, you idiot! Foligno!

Jen: - And where on earth is Foligno??

Tom: - ...

Foligno is a fascinating city located in Umbria, in the heart of Italy. Because of its central position within the country and Italy being in the centre of the Mediterranean sea, years ago it was defined "Centru de lu munnu" (The centre of the World).

And....Guess what?? In the centre of Foligno there used to be a café called Gran Caffè Sassovivo and in the centre of that café there used to be a pool table....And in the centre of that pool table there was a red pin and THAT marked the centre of the world!

If you're mad as a hatter you may want to take a trip to Gubbio, the city of mad people (la città dei matti)!

People from Gubbio, a town located in the northeastern part of Umbria are traditionally known for their unpredictable actions.

Do you want to become a licensed eccentric person too? Just go to the Fountain of Mad Men (la fontana dei matti), run round it three times and say "I am crazy" three times. For just a few Euros you can have an official document confirming your insanity! This is an essential document in this day and age.

All madness aside, Gubbio is a wonderful historical city with beautiful palaces, churches and a medieval feel.

Warning! Tourists travelling to San Gimignano this summer are in serious danger of falling in love with the place and of not being able to return home.

Recent reports have shown that people who were in San Gimignano between the hours of seven and nine in the evening were bewitched by the golden sunset light reflecting off the city's towers and felt unable to control their thirst for local history, art and local wine!

Vernaccia, typical of this area, is one of the best white wines of Italy. Some say it holds the power to keep tourists seated for hours as they watch the world go by...
