It is bordered by Tuscany to the west, the Marche to the east and Latium|Lazio to the south. The region covers 8,456 km² and has a population of 834,000 (2003 census). The region is named for the Umbri tribe, who settled in the region in the 6th century BC. Their language was Umbrian language|Umbrian, a relative of Latin. The modern region of Umbria, however, is essentially a different region of Italy than that bearing the same name in Roman times, which extended through most of what is now the northern Marche, to Ravenna, but excluded the west bank of the Tiber — and thus for example Perugia — which was in Etruria, and the area around Norcia, which was in the Sabine territory. The regional capital is Perugia. The region is divided into two provinces: Province of Perugia|Perugia, with 59 comuni, and Province of Terni|Terni, with 33 comuni.
