Foligno, Ancient Roman settlement in Umbria, Italy
Located between the Apennines and the Clitunno river system, Foligno stretches along the Topino river at an elevation of 234 meters above sea level.
The city transformed from an Umbrian settlement into a Roman municipium after the Battle of Sentinum in 295 BC, adopting the name Fulginiae from a local deity.
The Palazzo Orfini marked a milestone in literary history as the location where the first printed edition of Dante's Divine Comedy was produced in 1472.
The city center contains numerous medieval buildings, churches, and palaces arranged around Piazza della Repubblica, making it suitable for walking tours.
The Giostra della Quintana tournament, dating from 1448, involves ten districts competing in medieval jousting competitions throughout the year.
