But Miataland, a countryside resort in Collazzone, some 150km north of here, has a special attraction for petrolheads: a collection of 49 Mazda MX-5 roadsters, allegedly the world's largest.
The rear-wheel drive Japanese two-seater, first launched in 1989 and now into its fourth generation, is seen as the spiritual heir of the classic top-down British sports cars of the 1960s.
"It just take two or three hours on these cars to fall in love with them, you don't need to do anything: the car will do all the work," Miataland owner Andrea Mancini says.
The MX-5 - known as Mazda Eunos in Japan and Miata in the United States - has been Mancini's fixation since it first hit the showrooms.
But he is happy to share his passion: In what may be a unique feature, guests of his resort can not only gaze at his cars, but also drive them.
For every day of your stay, you are welcome to drive one of the roadsters for up to 60km - fuel costs excluded - and explore the surrounding Umbrian country roads.
The experience is exhilarating for everybody, Mancini assures. "I've never seen anybody get out of the car and say, 'mmm, nice car, but..."
He says that after the test drive, he regularly spots Miataland guests flicking through their mobiles, checking out second-hand ads for MX-5s.
The 50-year-old Roman is a clear car nut. He would be happy to talk for hours about the various engine, colour, wheel and seat specifications that distinguish his 49 cherished roadsters.
"I don't like so much to go into the technical details, but rather tell the stories of how I got them. For example, the Japanese ones are shipped to England, and I then drive them here," he says.
His eyes lit up on more arcane details - such as taking years to find the door card document holder specific to the ultra-rare M2 model, which he finally bought online "at a price I'd rather not say."
Mancini says he has no favourites in his collection, but the M2 models stand out: "I have five, and they are the only five that exist in Europe," he says.
His first MX-5 was a bog-standard black 1.6-litre first generation model, bought second-hand in 1998. It was a trade-in at the Ford dealer where Mancini worked at the time.
It is the only MX-5 Mancini ever sold, something he still regrets. His collection grew gradually in the following years, initially with the help of his family.
"I made my brother buy an MX-5, paying half of it, then bought it outright when he got tired of it. Then I made my father buy one, then my father-in-law..."
Eventually, the villa outside Rome where Mancini was living filled up with cars. "It was beautiful, with a garden, but it was entirely filled with cars, we used to park outside," he recalls.
This necessitated a move to a larger place.
Miataland has been operational since 2018. It features a large wooden barn giving shelter to most of Mancini's cars, all parked so tight that he says it takes a couple of days to move all them out.
"It's not something you can do in a couple of spare hours," he quips.
Mancini works in the auto industry, but has no professional ties with Mazda: he is a sales and marketing executive with Jaguar Land Rover Italia.
He also has a wife, whom he says has learned to live with his obsession.
"She's feels a bit better about it now, because it's part of a commercial activity, somehow. Beforehand, for her, it was just a pointless fixation."
