Montefalco is a historic small hill town in Umbria, Italy, with a population of 5,581 in August 2017.
The town's museum is in a former church, which has a fresco cycle on the life of St. Francis by the Florentine artist Benozzo Gozzoli (1450–1452).
It has been under the successive rule of the Romans, followed by the Lombards, being called Coccorone in the Middle Ages.
Since the 13th century it had been a free comune under the rule of local nobles and merchants, but later, as with many other Umbrian locales, the comune gave way to government by a Signoria — in this case, that of the Trinci from the nearby Foligno (1383–1439).
The 13th century Palazzo Comunale ("Town Hall") has a mullioned window from the original edifice and a 15th-century portal.
