Terni
Tucked between the Nera River valley and the limestone ridges of southern Umbria, Terni is a place whose character is shaped by watercourses and its enclosed basin. Known in antiquity as Interamna Nahars, it stands close to the meeting of the Nera and Velino rivers. Roman engineers diverted the Velino at nearby Marmore, creating the Marmore Falls, a landmark of human-shaped landscape that remains central to Umbria’s identity. Terni is also one of Italy’s historic steelmaking centres, its industrial role taking firm shape with the establishment of major steelworks in the 19th century. Wooded slopes and cultivated ground rise around the city toward the Apennines, placing this industrial centre in distinctly mountainous surroundings.

Terni has served as an industrial centre in southern Umbria since the late 19th century. The Nera River runs through this compact city, whose steelworks gave it a defining role in Italy’s modern industrial development. Just outside town, the Cascata delle Marmore was created in 271 BC when Roman engineering diverted the Velino River into the Nera; its three drops make it one of Italy’s highest waterfalls. Terni also preserves the Roman amphitheatre known as Anfiteatro Fausto, while the Basilica of San Valentino connects the city with the saint traditionally associated with 14 February.

Umbria blends an agricultural calm with the rugged contours of the Apennines in a way that reflects its position within central Italy. Italy’s only region without a coastline or an international border, it is crossed by the Tiber and includes Lake Trasimeno, one of the country’s largest lakes. Perugia, the regional capital, preserves an Etruscan past, while Assisi is known worldwide for the Basilica of Saint Francis and its UNESCO-listed artistic heritage. Olive groves, vineyards and hill towns remain central to the region’s everyday character. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Umbria.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
