nice ride

About 8 kilometers from the town center of the beautiful medieval village of Montone, among the lush vegetation of the Pietralunga forest in the Carpina Valley, stands the tiny village of Coloti; abandoned in the 60s, it was brought back to life in modern times thanks to the project to build the Astronomical Observatory, now unfortunately it is closed, even if you can enter simply by making a small dig in the low wooden fence.

interesting tour

Beautiful old town with great food and nice ambiance at Aries Cafe.

Umbertide is located in a green valley bathed by the Tiber.

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).
