"Discovering Umbria" is the project born to promote and enhance the big regional museum network made up of beyond 170 among museums, ecomuseums and archeological sites, through which the Green Heart wants to react to the earthquakes, thanks precisely to the strenght of its cultural heritage.

The initiative starts with "Guests in the fortress", at the Albornoz Fortress - Spoleto's Duchy's National Museum: an exhibition, scheduled from the 5^th of March to the 5^th November, that collects seven artworks coming from the regions of Marche, Lazio and Umbria hit by the earthquake.

From the 9^th of April this first selection is going to feed into the exhibition "Valnerina's Treasures", that will exhibit artworks retrieved after the earthquake from churches and museums and later restored.

The goal is keeping in mind that just a small part of Umbria suffered direct damages from the earthquake and the wish of all the community to withstand events as well as to continue enhancing its own historical and artistic heritage, by inviting all Umbria lovers to visit museums and monuments that are open, vital and that offer an extraordinary cross-section of history, art, environment and traditions.
