The Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria is on the upper floor of a palace complex, with the entrance through its opulently carved doorway. One of central Italy's best and most charming galleries, this takes you on a romp through the history of Umbrian painting, with masterpieces by Perugino, Pinturicchio and many others, plus one or two stunning Tuscan masterpieces (Duccio, Fra' Angelico, Piero della Francesca) thrown in for good measure. The entrance is worth every cent if you're the slightest bit interested in early and mid-Renaissance art.
