Solomeo

Solomeo is a frazione of the comune of Corciano in the Province of Perugia, Umbria, central Italy.

At the time of the Istat census of 2001 it had 436 inhabitants[1] and is found about 9 km south of the city of Corciano.

The village is centered mainly on the hill top and the surrounding plain below is irrigated by the waters of the stream Caina.

The "castrum Solomei" fortification to defend the town, was built in 1391 by Meo Giovanni di Nicola and Peter Galassi Tanoli, at the request of the Magistrates of Perugia.

Today Solomeo has been largely restored by its world-famous resident, Brunello Cucinelli.
