The name Piediluco derives from Latin and means "at the foot of the sacred forest", the town stands on the shores of the lake of the same name and at the foot of Mount Luco. Once upon a time the main commercial activity was fishing. This close relationship with the lake is also visible in the bas-reliefs of the entrance door of the church of San Francesco where fish and fishing tools are depicted. On the day of the summer solstice the town comes alive for the Water Festival with concerts, dances and a parade of allegorical boats.

Crossing the town of Piediluco, on the left you come across the church of San Francesco (with a side entrance on the stairway) which preserves some relics of the saint who passed through Piediluco several times in his movements in the Valle santa Rieti.
