Arrone is an Italian town of 2,736 inhabitants in the province of Terni in Umbria. It is part of the club The most beautiful villages in Italy. Of great interest is the castle of Arrone, the upper part of the town, which preserves the medieval urban layout, with walls and picturesque alleys. To visit: the civic bell tower, the "degli olivi" tower, the fourteenth-century church of San Giovanni Battista with fifteenth-century frescoes from the Umbrian school, the sixteenth-century collegiate church of Santa Maria and the former convent of San Francesco. Also not to be missed in Arrone are the celebrations in honor of the patron saint St. John the Baptist (24 June) during which the "Cotta water festival" takes place at the canoe center and, during the Christmas period, the representation of the living nativity scene at the ancient castle.

Small village to visit, also fun to do by bike through the steep alleys that rise up to the bell tower.
