Foligno


Foligno is the richest and most important commercial and industrial center, together with Spoleto, of the Umbra Valley and the main communications center of the entire region. Patron of the city, which is part of the circuit of oil cities, is San Feliciano, patron of the Madonna del Pianto.

The municipal territory is mainly mountain, while the capital city is completely on the plain (with some hilly offshoots), in the Umbrian Valley, at the confluence of two rivers: the Topino and the Menotre. The highest inhabited center in altitude is the hamlet of Curasci, which is located at 1,721 m a.s.l., while the lowest is the hamlet of Budino, located at 196 m a.s.l. From a hydrographic point of view, most of the municipal territory is in the Tiber basin, therefore on the Tyrrhenian side of the Apennine ridge, while a part, the Colfiorito Highlands, is located on the Adriatic side.

The climate of the capital and the surrounding plain is of a sublittoral temperate type with winters that are not excessively cold (the average temperature in January, the coldest month, 4.5 ° C) and rather humid and summers characterized by high, but not torrid, temperatures . Quite pronounced is the phenomenon of thermal inversion. Autumn is warmer than spring and is the wettest season of the year. Frosts and mists can occur between November and April while snowfalls are infrequent.
