The Franciscan sources write: “Francis made the sign of the most holy cross to him, and called him to himself and said,” Come here, brother wolf, I command you on the side of Christ that you do not harm either to me or to person “.

Wonderful thing to say! Immediately that Saint Francis had made the cross, the terrible wolf closed his mouth and stopped running; and having done the commandment, he came meekly as a lamb, and threw himself at the feet of Saint Francis to lie down. “

The large area of the Altotiberini Hills, which includes important towns such as Città di Castello, Umbertide and Gubbio, takes its name from the hilly area crossed by the River Tiber.

The winemaking traditions of the area date back to the Romans and even earlier to the Etruscans.

Andrea Bacci, an important writer and philosopher describes the area in the sixteenth century as follows: “on both sides of the Tiber there are festive fields and rich pastures, from which gentle hills rise, partly covered with long rows of olive trees and partly with vineyards well-kept “.

A horseback ride in the Eugubini Hills area, relaxing in nature, or a walk of at least an hour exploring the countryside of Gubbio or, finally, a walk of about three hours, expanding the area to see to enjoy the view of the flora local but first make sure they are suitable for your experience and, if you want, on the Fise Umbria website you will certainly find the equestrian centers that will be happy to help you and, if you are traveling with your horse, read our advice here.
