history
The place was first mentioned in the 14th century and arose at the foot (Italian: Piede ) of Paterno , a fortified place at 605 m slm about 650 m north and above Piedipaterno. The place, created as a trading post of the castle on the roads to Cerreto di Spoleto and Spoleto , became more important when the castle lost its importance after the revolt of the local castles against Spoleto in the 1520s. In 1833 the place was merged with Meggiano to form the Comunità di Meggiano e Paterno and from 1880 onwards it was called Piedipaterno sul Nera . Piedipaterno has been part of Vallo di Nera since May 13, 1881. From 1926 to 1968 the place had the stop Piedipaterno-Vallo di Nera on the Spoleto- Norcia railway line , which was closed in 1968.
