Lying in the Apennines, Gubbio is one of the oldest cities in Umbria, a medieval pearl that still retains its ancient but fascinating aspect. But do you know that in this village you can get the "crazy driver's license"? Yes, the village of Gubbio is known throughout Italy and around the world for a particular rite that makes it take the nickname "city of madmen".
Why is Gubbio called the "city of madmen"?
The reason for this teasing nickname derives from the presence in the town of a famous fountain and its history: the Bargello Fountain as it stands in front of the palace of the same name, but also known as the Fontana dei Matti.
