Terni is a lovely city in the heart of the southern part of Umbria, central Italy. This charming city has been given the title of the ‘City of Lovers’ for a good reason; its charming architecture with historical buildings adds greatly to its quaint beauty. Terni is run through by Nera River. It was not until the 19th century that Terni really flourished when steel mills were constructed in the area and the city’s economy grew. Today Terni remains an important industrial city.
Terni is favorably located in the Umbrian countryside, surrounded by a plethora of national parks and areas of natural beauty such as the Parco Fluviale del Nera and Lago di Piediluco. Furthermore, for the fact that the city retains much of its historical architecture with buildings such as the Basilica san Valentino and the Duomo di Terni, its authenticity has not been lost despite its partly industrial character. The city is also a convenient transportation hub with various links to other cities.
