| Description: |
* AROUND THE SECOND HALF OF THE 18TH CENTURY, THE -POSTA-,
STAGE -COACHES USED FOR TRANSPORTING PASSENGERS AND
POSTAL DOCUMENTS, HAD ITS HEADQUARTERS AT THE FAMOUS
BUILDING OF THE MARQUIS PATRIZI, ON COURSE VANNUCCI.
WITHIN A SHORT TIME THE BUILDING BECAME THE -LOCANDA
DELLA POSTA-, THE ONLY HOTEL IN THE CITY OF PERUGIA.
THANKS TO ITS NOBLE -PREROGATIVES- THE HOTEL WAS
IMMEDIATELY CONSIDERED THE ULTIMATE EXAMPLE OF
HOSPITALITY IN PERUGIA. FAMOUS PERSONALITIES OF THAT
PERIOD STAYED AT THE HOTEL, WHILE VISITING PERUGIA. IN
FACT, IN 1786 THE POETS HEINSE AND GOETHE SOJOURNED
HERE, AS DID THE PHILOSOPHER HUMBOLDT IN 1802, FRED
III OF PRUSSIA IN 1824, AND THE WRITER ANDERSEN IN
1833. SINCE THEN, SEVERAL CHANGES HAVE TAKEN PLACE,
AND DESPITE HAVING SEEN TOTALLY RESTRUCTURED, THE
-LOCANDA DELLA POSTA- HAS MAINTAINED ITS CHARM,
ANTIQUITY AND EXCLUSIVENESS.
