Allerona is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Terni in the Italian region Umbria, located about 50 km southwest of Perugia and about 60 km northwest of Terni. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy"). The town consists of Allerona Alta, the hill town, and Allerona Scalo, the more populated town with a few bars, restaurants, grocers, and other services. The land is a mix of sand and clay soils, representing an ancient coastline where fossilized seashells can be found dating back a million years in the ancient sand dunes. Along the river that meanders on the valley west of the Autostrada, is an ancient Roman road. The fog settled in the valley quite often, leaving the hilltop village visible at a distance.
The area is home to a few wine producers, in particular the brand Argilae, that has a tasting room in Allerona Scalo, and named for the distinctive clay soil of the area. The area supports olive oil producers as well.
