Umbertide

Located at the meeting point of the Reggia and Tiber rivers, Umbertide stands 247 meters above sea level in northwestern Umbria between Perugia and Città di Castello.

Originally named Fratta, the settlement received its current name in 1863 to honor Crown Prince Umberto, who later became King Umberto I of Italy.

The Santa Croce Church museum contains a collection of regional paintings, including a notable Deposition artwork created by Renaissance master Luca Signorelli.

The town functions as an industrial center, producing machine tools, farm machinery, textiles, packaging materials, and ceramics for the surrounding region.

The Abbey of San Salvatore di Montecorona features an 11th-century crypt decorated with early Romanesque capitals and 18th-century painted ceiling designs.
