CollepepeCollepepe is a delightful medieval district situated on top of a hill at 251 metres above the sea level. District of Collazzone, nearby Perugia, it counts 917 inhabitants (accordingly to the last census returns) and is the most populated village within its municipal territory. This lovely place overlooks the Tiberine Valley, while most of its houses are situated on the plain, touching lightly the river Tevere. The village is crossed by the highway E45, but is reachable even from Foligno or Spoleto, thanks to "Strada del Puglia" the torrent that splices Collepepe to the town of Bastardo. Collepepe has always had a notable strategic importance, because of its defensive position for the areas of Perugia, Marsciano and Spoleto. This is the reason why Collepepe has always been contended among Todi, Perugia and Spoleto. In 1290 was already greatly developed and counted 250 inhabitants.
