Umbria
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Tramonti d’oro e nitidi sereni pe’ cieli effusi di color di rose; sere incantate e paesaggi ameni, ricchi d’ulivi e d’alte querci ombrose. Valli feconde, ne’ cui dolci seni fuman le ville nel gran verde ascose; clivi ridenti ove, d’umor ripieni, veston grappoli vigne rigogliose. Monti ineguali, in cerchio digradanti, irti di faggi il pie’, nudi le vette; giulivi al suon de’ pastorali canti… Salve, Umbria mia, d’eccelse anime elette culla ridente! I colli tuoi festanti ognor sospiro e le tue molli aurette.
