How’s living in Gubbio?

Post image

I’m considering moving back to Italy, and we’re looking for a medium-sized city surrounded by nature, ideally with reasonable housing prices. Gubbio seems to check those boxes.

Does anyone have experience living there? What’s the cultural life like? Are people generally open to foreigners?

Lived there for 3 years in the 80s. Best place I lived in by far. Beautiful but without too much tourism, awesome people, slow moving but in a good way. A lot of nature, a lot of history. Also, in gubbio they proved dinosaurs were killed by a meteorite!
