ピエトラルンガのおすすめランニングルート

Walk all the way down the paved road, pass Mandrelli on the right (Tip!) and continue until you reach the Church of Castelfranco. On the right side of the church is a path. Turn here! You will now come to a fork (see photo 3) and take the path on the left side of the mast.

The history of Pietralunga is at least as rich as the variety of names this place has had over the millennia. Founded by the Umbrians with the name of Tufi, it later came under the influence of Rome with the name of Forum Julii Concupiensium. Razed to the ground during the barbarian invasions, it was rebuilt with the name of Plebs Tuphiae. Over time the vast fields that surround it earned it the name of Pratalonga, a name that persisted until the advent of the Kingdom of Italy which Italianized it into Pietralunga.

The area where the town of Pietralunga stands has been inhabited since prehistoric times, however the first inhabited center was founded by the Umbrians while it was the Romans who later left the valley below to settle in today's position. The current town has a typical medieval appearance with the oldest nucleus developing around the Rocca and the Parish Church of Santa Maria.

The small medieval town of Pietralunga is located in northern Umbria on a hill in the northeastern area of the Upper Tiber Valley. As numerous finds and preserved ruins from Roman antiquity show, the settlement is very old (Forum Julii Concupiensium).

A small village with beautiful views, which can be reached above all from the Val di Carpina, via Umbertide. Road with little traffic, pedaled uphill, coolness in summer. deserves!

Mountain of the Umbria-Marche Apennines of 1525m in height. The origin of the name has two hypotheses, the first, more suggestive, is the one that wants the origin of the name linked to the Roman consul Claudius Nero who would have gathered his legions here before the famous Battle of Metauro (year 207 BC) in which defeated the Carthaginians. A more likely hypothesis links the name of this mountain to the discovery of a statuette of the god Mars, which occurred during the construction works of the RAI broadcasting center on the summit.

Nice little city with a lot of cafes.

Its name has medieval origins when it was renamed "Pratalonga".
