Monterchi is an Italian municipality of 1,716 inhabitants in the province of Arezzo, in the upper Tiber Valley. From 1927 to 1939 it was part of the province of Perugia, in Umbria, before returning to Arezzo following protests from the population. The town is particularly known for the Madonna del Parto, the famous fresco by Piero della Francesca painted between 1455 and 1465 in honor of his mother, Romana di Perino da Monterchi, originally from the area. The fresco, originally intended for the Chapel of Santa Maria di Momentana, is currently preserved in the Museum of the Madonna del Parto by Piero della Francesca.

Among the hills of the Tiber valley, a stone's throw from Citta di Castello and Umbria, among ancient medieval parish churches and convents, the village of Monterchi stands proudly perched. A fundamental stop for those who wish to retrace the life and works of the master Piero della Francesca, one of the highest expressions of the Renaissance. Monterchi is universally known for being one of the lands of Piero della Francesca, one of the greatest Italian painters of the fifteenth century. Here, on the trail of the memories of his mother, a native of the village, the Maestro left a masterpiece such as the Madonna del Parto, a fresco painted between 1455 and 1465 inside the church of Santa Maria a Momentana. A museum of the same name has been dedicated to the work, where the work is on display in all its splendor.
