Ciao tutti. We have a home in Umbria, and I would like to know if you need solar energy to operate your pool? We do not have a heated pool and are not interested in installing solar panels due to the cost. Currently we have 4 solar panels and 6 batteries that have been there sin
Todi (Umbria)
Todi is a town of the province of Perugia (region of Umbria) in central Italy. It is perched on a tall two-crested hill overlooking the east bank of the river Tiber, commanding distant views in every direction.
In the 1990s, Richard S. Levine, a professor of architecture at the University of Kentucky, chose Todi as the model sustainable city, because of its scale and its ability to reinvent itself over time. After that, the Italian press reported on Todi as the world's most livable city.
Almost all Todi's main medieval monuments — the co-cathedral church (Duomo), the Palazzo del Capitano, the Palazzo del Priore and the Palazzo del Popolo — front on the main square (Piazza del Popolo) on the lower breast of the hill: the piazza is often used as a movie set. The whole landscape is sited over some huge ancient Roman cisterns, with more than 500 pits, which remained in use until 1925.

@lynn.petrelli asks:
I am trying to find my Italian roots. I have documents for my grandfather but I want to find his parents and grandparents.
I have names in my grandmother's line but I need help to validate my findings. What sources can I use while I am in Italy.
@tonya_baltimore asks:
Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for where to find an Italian/English speaking caretaker for a property we're buying in Umbria?
