Todi Walking Tours

Walking-Tour Guide for English-Speaking Visitors

Beschreibung

This book is a walking-tour guide for English-speaking visitors, through an ancient hill town in central Italy. Todi sits majestically above the Tiber River in the region of Umbria, very near the exact geographic center of Italy in Umbria. This region, known widely as "the green heart of Italy" for its lush fields and majestic hills, lies midway between Florence and Rome. Todi, a prototypical Italian hill town, was founded over 1,500 years ago and has retained its historic beauty by being surrounded by a set of walls that has prevented any new construction and experienced almost no demolition for over 500 years. The guide offers three walking tours that allow the visitor to appreciate historic sites from the Etruscan era, through the Roman centuries, and into the Renaissance. Each walk can be done in a leisurely fashion with almost no distraction from noise or car traffic.

Autor

Bernard Mansheim was born on the leading edge of the Baby Boom generation. Having enjoyed a long professional career in medicine and business, he was among the first of his generation to face the challenges of retirement. The questions of When, Where, and How became his singular focus as the door to retirement opened. He dutifully studied options with his wife as they entered a heretofore unknown world. One product of their experience is a novel about a couple who confront the realities of retirement. Bernard previously authored a novel, Still a Doctor, which chronicled the professional life of a physician. Though fictional, it parallels his experiences through the course of his medical career.
