The Tevere river, Umbertide

Umbertide is a town in the province of Perugia and in northwestern Umbria, at the confluence of the Reggia river and the Tiber. It is an industrial center producing machine tools, textiles, packaging material, and ceramics. Olive oil is produced, especially in Pierantonio and in its southwestern part. Although there are remains of the medieval walls, a few medieval houses, and part of the Rocca di Umbertide, or citadel, many of Umbertide's best monuments are of later periods.
