It was between September of 1991 and May of 1992 when Seattle Mayor Norman Rice and Perugia Mayor Mario Valentini signed a pact of friendship between their cities and since then that relationship has grown stronger and stronger.
The origin of that pact resides in a desire of a Seattleite named Hans Lehmann, who had completed his medical studies at the University of Perugia and who had fallen in love with the Umbrian city.
