Foligno

Tucked into the broad Valle Umbra beside the Topino River, Foligno is a place whose character is shaped by the fertile plain beneath the Apennines. A key transport and commercial centre in Umbria, it also retains a compact historic core around Piazza della Repubblica, where the Cathedral of San Feliciano and Palazzo Trinci reflect its civic and religious life. Foligno entered printing history in 1472, when Johann Numeister and Evangelista Mei produced the first printed edition of Dante’s Divine Comedy in Italian. In June and September, the Giostra della Quintana brings Baroque-style processions and a jousting contest to the streets.
