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.

Golden sunsets and clear serene skies colored like a rose; enchanted evenings and pleasant landscapes, rich with olive trees and tall and shady oaks. Fertile valleys, the slopes of which have smoking farms hiding in the green; charming hills where opulent vines are full of juicy grapes. Irregular mountains, gradually descending, beeches at the foot and barren tops; rejoicing when they hear the shepherds’ songs… Hail, my Umbria, enchanted cradle of outstanding souls! I am always longing for your joyful hills and your soft breeze.
