It is included in the comune of Montecastrilli in the province of Terni (central Italy). It has a population of 283. Farnetta derives its name from the old Latin name Quercus Frainetto. It is reputed to be one of Umbria's smallest villages. It has several farms and houses, and a church, dedicated to St Nicolaus, which has its origins in the 16th century but underwent heavy restoration in 1860. The church has been designated by Italian Heritage. HistoryIt is likely that the area was also inhabited in the Iron Age and throughout the Roman period. Close to the Roman roads Amerina and Flaminia, the area has numerous elements of early Roman infrastructure, indicating that it was extensively settled. The village's name's is traditionally connected to the toponym Quercus Frainetto (a type of oak). The village was later part of the Terre Arnolfe, and later subjected to Todi and Terni. Farnetta was listed in the Farfa Abbey register in 1112. Main sightsFarnetta is 385 meters above sea level. Part of the territory is the Natural Park (protected area, or Zona di ripopolamento e cattura) of Farnetta. Trails cross the park. Its historical center was once surrounded by medieval walls. Most of them have been dismantled, leaving only short stretches and a few cylindrical towers that served as part of the town's defenses. The church of San Nicolo/Nicolaus is in the old part of town, begun in the 16th century and completed in the 19th century by the Nevi family. It includes 17th- and 18th-century paintings. Dunarobba Fossil ForestThe Fossil Forest of Dunarobba, 3 km from Farnetta, is one of the world's oldest forests. Two million years ago, the oceans withdrew from the area, leaving an ancient lake, Tiberino. Water runoff from the emerging hills and mountains carried large quantities of sediments which, along with tectonic movements, covered the forest's giant trees and preserved them. CultureFarnetta is known for its Feast of St. Rita, held the last week of May. During the feast, local residents organize a trattoria with traditional food. Other medieval towns and villages are present near Farnetta: Todi (17 km), Sangemini, (10 km), Spoleto (42 km), Carsulae (12 km) and Orvieto (38 km).
