Autumn in Umbria is when the crowds thin, the vineyards turn gold and every town discovers an excellent reason to hold a festival involving wine, truffles, chestnuts or an alarming quantity of pork.

My latest Centro Storico 21 guide rounds up the best of the season in and around Città della Pieve—harvest celebrations, sagre, markets, long lunches and all the general Italian fabulousness autumn does so well.

And if you fancy experiencing it rather than merely reading about it, book an autumn stay at Grove Cottage—surrounded by olive groves and an easy walk from the historic center.
