Foligno
Spend 1‑2 days in Foligno, using its rail hub to visit Palazzo Orfini, Trinci Palace and the Cathedral; skip if only passing through.
Foligno is a plain‑sited Umbrian town, a key railway junction and industrial centre. Its compact historic core lets you see the printing museum, Trinci Palace and the Romanesque cathedral in a half‑day, with extra time for a quick stroll to the town hall. One night is enough for a relaxed visit; two days allow a day‑trip to nearby Spoleto or Assisi.

Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette

- Queues: At delis and pharmacies take a number (numerino); avoid: Assuming the crowd at a bar counter is chaos — pay at the till first where asked
- Restaurants: Wait to be seated and ask for the bill; avoid: Splitting a bill item by item with a large group
- Conversation: Food, football and family are safe openers; avoid: Mafia jokes and north–south stereotypes
- Dinner at a home: Bring pastries, wine or flowers (not chrysanthemums, which are for funerals); avoid: Refusing seconds too firmly
