Carpegna has served as the seat of the Counts of Carpegna in Montefeltro since the Middle Ages. The town stands on the slopes of Monte Carpegna, a 1,415-metre peak within the northern Apennines, where Marche meets the historic landscapes of Montefeltro. Its centre preserves the Palazzo dei Principi, associated with the local noble family, while the surrounding territory is known for Prosciutto di Carpegna, a protected cured ham produced in this mountain area. Roads rising from the settlement lead towards the forests and open ridges of the Sasso Simone e Simoncello Regional Natural Park.
