Travel writer Tim Jepson believes that Piano Grande is one of the world's most remarkable places and he urges holiday makers to explore its natural beauty.
Writing in the Telegraph, Mr Jepson states that it is best seen in late May and early June, when its "extraordinary floral displays" are on show.
"Swathes of wild crocuses one week, narcissi the next, grape hyacinth, wild tulips, poppies, thousands of orchids and rarities such as snakes' head fritillaries, among many others," can be found, he says.
Located thousands of feet up in the Sibillini Mountains on Umbria's eastern side, the vast plain could be an ideal place for holiday makers who like exploring to visit - as they can just pack a picnic and drive into the wilderness of the tranquil Umbrian countryside for a day.
