Monteleone di Spoleto, an Etruscan chariot and Valnerina spelt

In the early twentieth century a bronze Etruscan chariot was found in the countryside of Monteleone di Spoleto; it is now on display at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and the village keeps a copy. The other name linked to the municipality is Monteleone di Spoleto spelt (farro), grown on the uplands around the village and protected by a PDO designation.

The village stands at almost one thousand metres in the upper Valnerina, on the south-eastern edge of Umbria. The climate is zone E, with cold, snowy winters: for a house here heating, insulation and winter access all matter. The old centre is gathered on the hill, with stone houses and steep streets; for the hospital and main services you drive towards Spoleto or Norcia.

There were 552 residents in 2023, 74 fewer than in 2011, a fall of 11.8%. The average age is 50.9, compared with 47.4 in the province of Perugia, and over-65s make up 32.2%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Seismic hazard is high: Monteleone is in zone 1, like 14 municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.252 g. Anyone buying in the old centre should ask for all the paperwork on repairs and seismic upgrading carried out on the building, and have a surveyor inspect it before the preliminary contract.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps: the report goes from address to plot and checks landslide and flood hazard on the official maps, useful in an area of slopes and narrow valleys.
