"The small hill town of Urbino, in the Marche, experienced a great
cultural flowering in the 15th century, attracting artists and scholars
from all over Italy and beyond, and influencing cultural developments
elsewhere in Europe. Owing to its economic and cultural stagnation from
the 16th century onwards, it has preserved its Renaissance appearance to
a remarkable extent." -http://whc.unesco.org
"Urbino is the City of painter Raffaello and my College Alma Mater", shares Alessandro.
Thank you so much, Alessandro for this wonderful postcard
and for sharing some information about it!
