Printing played a central role in Foligno's history: the first edition of Dante's Divine Comedy was printed here in 1472 by Johann Numeister and Evangelista Angelini, making it one of the earliest books produced in Italy. The city occupies the Valle Umbra plain at the confluence of the Topino and Menotre rivers, with a population of about 56,918. Unlike the hilltop towns that dominate Umbrian geography, Foligno is flat, which made it a natural railway junction and commercial centre for the surrounding area.
Every September and October, the Giostra della Quintana draws competitors and spectators to the city. This baroque jousting tournament, revived in 1946, pits ten rioni against each other in a night event (La Sfida) and a daytime championship (La Rivincita). Palazzo Trinci, a 14th-century palace on Piazza della Repubblica, contains frescoes attributed to Gentile da Fabriano and houses the Pinacoteca Civica and the Museo Archeologico.
