 mall cars navigate the narrow streets, or vicoli, of the hill towns of Umbria, a region of central Italy. Photographer Justin Guariglia explored Umbria while shooting "The World's Sexiest Small City" for the November/December 2008 issue of National Geographic Traveler. In medieval times, towns such as Gubbio, Perugia, Spoleto, and Assisi were their own little fiefdoms, built for defense. The vicoli tend to suddenly dead-end or circle back—the better to confuse enemies chasing you with swords, but making navigation today rather confusing for visitors.
