Before it came under Roman rule, ancient Perusia was one of the 12 cities of the Etruscan federation and considerable sections of the Etruscan walls, which extended for 2,800 meters around the town, have been preserved. Perugia is known to the art world as the center of the Umbrian School of Painting in the 15th and 16th centuries and its leading members, Pietro Vannucci and Bernardino Betti both worked here.
