Gubbio is a medieval town at the base of Mount Ingino, a small mountain in the Apennine range in central Italy. The town achieved international pop culture stardom as the setting for the Italian TV series Don Matteo. We have been binging on this 266-episode series. Having finished 6 of the 12 seasons, we’re hoping it will never end.

One can’t really separate the town from the storyline and characters because the medieval streets and alleys, historical buildings, breathtaking landscapes, and cultural traditions of Gubbio play such a prominent role in the show.
