Citta di Castello is a city of over 40,000 inhabitants of Umbria in Perugia, the main center of the upper valley of the Tiber.

A number of factors including the strong architectural character of the Renaissance, the population size and density of population, as well as geographical position and the dialect help to define the special character of the city, very culturally tied to the nearby Tuscany and Marche.
  Umbrian and Roman
The original settlement was founded by the Umbrian on the left bank of the Tiber River close to the territory under the control of the Etruscans, from the third century BC, due to expansion of Rome, the city was federated in Rome and then was inserted into Regio VI Umbria. From the first century BC became a Roman town, whose most famous patron was Pliny the Younger, called Pliny the Younger, who, as stated in his letter, he built a temple, completed in 103 BC or 104 BC, that you do not know the location.
Certainly, the gens Plinia possessed large estates in the vicinity of the city and a villa is more often mentioned by Pliny the Younger, in his letters, the excavations made by the University of Perugia in collaboration with the University of Alicante, in the locality Pliny in the hill town of San Giustino, have pinpointed the location of the villa of Pliny the Younger. The city was called Tifernum Tiberinum by the Romans in order to distinguish it from the homonymous settlement located on Metauro Tifernum Metaurense, and it seems that he took a moderate significance as it is mentioned by Pliny the Elder.
It is not possible, however, reconstruct with certainty the urban structure of the Roman city, certainly, though, is the oldest part of the city corresponds to the south, where, in the district called Mattonata, were found some mosaics, the remains of hydraulic structures and portion of the wall of what probably should be an amphitheater.
