The Umbria Region is known for it's Flag Festival

You may have noticed there are different colours of flags on each of 

the above buildings.

The major families in Gubbio have a Family flag

We were lucky enough to have been in the city right before the festival started...we got to see 

all the residents getting ready but none of the thousands of people

 that were expected the following week

Below are pictures that I liked as we walked further into the town
