Colfiorito

Colfiorito (Italian: [ˌkɔlfjoˈriːto]; "Flowery Hill") is a village in Umbria, central Italy, now a frazione (borough) of the comune (municipality) of Foligno.

It is located on a plateau at 760 m over the sea level, on the road from municipal seat Foligno to Macerata, which houses a total of c. 5,000 inhabitants (part of it is under the jurisdiction of Serravalle di Chienti, Marche).

In 178 BC existed here the Roman city of Plestia, which had a forum, a temple and other edifices and shortly was a bishopric.

The area was repopulated by the comune of Foligno, who built here the castle (1269) from which originated the modern village.

In 1966 it was nominally restored as a Latin Titular bishopric, which has had the following incumbents, all of the lowest (episcopal) rank except the archiepiscopal first one:
