Many people say that the town of Urbino is the Marche region's crown jewel. Dramatically positioned against the backdrop of the incredibly green countryside in central Italy, its position commands spectacular views over the hills and valleys in the distance. However, Urbino is not only beautiful, it is also the birth place of two of of Italy's most important and notable painters Raphael who's full name is: Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino.
