montefalco

Montefalco is a town and comune in the central part of the Italian province of Perugia, (Umbria), 42°54N 12°39E; at 473 m (1552 ft) above sea-level on an outcrop of the Colli Martani above the flood plain of the Clitunno river, 7 km (4 mi) SE of Bevagna, 11 km (7 mi) SW of Foligno, and 9 km (5.5 mi) NW of Trevi. Its population was 5600 as of the 2003 census. Montefalco today has several medieval or Renaissance churches, among which the most important by far is S. Francesco, notable for its fresco cycle on the life of St. Francis, the best work by Benozzo Gozzoli: the church is now secularized and part of an important museum of Umbrian art. Other churches include S. Agostino and S. Illuminata. The comune of Montefalco and a small area of the comune of Bevagna constitute the regulated geographical area for Montefalco wines.
