Umbria Man's Homeland
Stefano Serafini and Loretta Lorenzini
Il Cenacolo Publ. House,
Roma, 1998

This book is not intended to propose the usual, commercial travel itinerary aimed at mass tourism. It originated from the intense emotions experienced by a group of international scholars, artists and researchers who, in an apparently trite game - a culinary competition between Italian regions created to lighten up a summer study session - to their surprise, touched the living essence of Umbria.

It is not easy to explain what happened, above all to those who have never had the fortune to experience, even for a short time, the emotional lyricism of this land.

Already in the last century, Paul Sabatier had affirmed the existence of a natural relationship between the charm of the Umbrian landscape and its destiny as a mystical region, and it is not limited to this.

The participants and guests that evening, among whom the reader is now being welcomed, experienced the revelation of the one, live intelligent force in all that is authentically Umbrian: in the nature of the place, from the woods to the wind; in its traditions refined through the centuries, from agriculture and skilled craftsmanship to its cuisine, where the environment encounters and is assimilated almost becoming infused in man; in its unique art; in its historical sensitivity to the sacred so often incarnated here, even outside the Christian tradition (for example, the intense pre-Roman religious activity). This work was born to make this extraordinary, convivial evening come alive for others and to portray the real inner meaning of Umbria.

Attached to this work is an appendix which offers a very new look at the museum jewelry of this region, still mostly unknown. The history, traditions, nature, typical products, streets and cities of the region run through this account, going beyond any stereotyped, superficial or partisan theses. The former comprise the symbols that testify to the essence of the whole. Brought together here, they provide an itinerary, which is both old and new, for understanding and experiencing deeply the authenticity of the heart of Italy.

The idea for this small series comes from the desire to make a part of our-selves known which is often ignored or undervalued, but once understood can greatly help us to efficiently manage our relationships with others. The possibility that one could so easily define or even forecast some attitudes of people on the basis of their birth order has always fascinated and intrigued me.

In experience of clinical psychologist The author tooks some useful elements for better to describe these psychological typologies and has made a vademecum for all people who want understand better themselves; whit simplicity and why no, whit pleasure.
