Will this be the year for us to stretch our wings and nourish our souls? I'm ready for that & hope you are too as many of my readers are nearing retirement and could begin actually living abroad for one or more months each year. French Property Shares has become International Property Shares with our first ever Italian beauty- Casa Leone LLC. Why Umbria?
Lonely Planet says it far better than me: "Leave Rome its Colosseum and Venice its canals. Let Tuscany have its masterpieces, along with its long lines. Umbria is the slow food, slow travel capital of Italy."

 | | Lingering over dinner with family & friends |
This lovely agricultural region has an impressive share of art and history, but its isolation as a Papal state during the Renaissance means its medieval history has been well preserved. Tourism marketing? No way. Umbrians are too busy lingering over dinner with friends and family, growing organic lentils or strolling through the piazza during the evening's passeggiata.
