Perugia
In the Palazzo dei Priori the Umbrian town houses one of the major Italian museums: the National Gallery of Umbria, which has the largest collection of art of the region and central Italy from 1200 to 1800. There are works by great masters such as Gentile da Fabriano, Piero della Francesca, Duccio di Boninsegna, Benozzo Gozzoli, Perugino and Pinturicchio. The Priori Chapel is characterized by a cycle of frescoes by Benedetto Bonfigli on the life of S. Ludovico da Tolosa and S. Ercolano.
Perugia is not famous only for ancient art, but also for twentieth-century architecture, with the headquarters of the Umbria region designed by Aldo Rossi in the 1980s.
