|
Città di Castello lies on the Tiber in northern Umbria - some 50km/30mi north of Perugia. It is a busy commercial center (tobacco growing, printing industry) and has some important art collections.
The central feature of the town, which is still partly surrounded by its old walls, is the Piazza Matteotti, enclosed by fine old palaces, among which the Palazzo Vitelli (16th century). Close to the Palazzo Vitelli stands the Palazzo Albizzini (15th century), in which are displayed the works of the Italian "arte povera" artist Alberto Burri (d. 1995).
