Not to mention the food and wine specialities... Foligno breathes in the quietness of the countryside, preserving traces of a fascinating past. Its historical centre, the old town, is surrounded by medieval walls lapped by the Topino river, beyond which you can discover the ancient heart of the town with its beautiful squares and most important monuments. It was here that the Umbrians first settled, in the 10th century B.C., then the Romans and, after them, the Barbarians. Disputed between the Church and the Papacy, a battleground between the Guelphs and Ghibellines in the late Middle Ages, Foligno was already seen as 'lu centru de lu munnu' in those days. Yes, you got it right, according to legend and the local culture that took shape from it, we are right in the centre of the world. Foligno is thus known for its central position in our peninsula, once considered the centre of Europe and the Mediterranean. Whether or not it is the navel of the world, there is no doubt that the small medieval town is at the centre of its Umbria. 🧳 Does Umbria fascinate you? Discover it with Italia Delight!
