Stifone is a fraction of Narni. In the surrounding area the Romans built ships, in fact what remains of a Roman shipyard has been found. Here passes the Nera river, 116.2 km long, which for average flow reaches seventh place in the national ranking.

Stifone and the Nera Gorges

Highlight • Gorge

Stifone is a fraction of the municipality of Narni, in the province of Terni, located along the left bank of the Nera river and along the Via Ortana. The town, at 93 m asl, is dominated by the rocky cliffs on which the overhanging castle of Taizzano rests. According to data from the 2001 ISTAT census, it is populated by 41 inhabitants. The abundance of water, both river and spring, has greatly benefited the economy of the place in the past. Stifone was known since the Middle Ages for the number of its water mills. Near the river there is still the port of ancient Narnia, which covered a certain importance from Roman times until the 18th century, because it was used to transport timber, bricks and foodstuffs from Umbria to Rome. On the cascades of spring water near Mola Alberti, at the instigation of engineer Aldobrando Netti, a native of Stifone and pioneer of electricity in Italy, two of the first Italian hydroelectric power plants were also put into operation in 1892, also used for illuminate the city of Narni. Since 1939 they have been submerged by the artificial reservoir used to feed the former Valdarno plant. The basin has also covered the mouth of several natural springs that color the waters of an intense turquoise.

Mole di Narni

Highlight • River

June 2024: access to the "Mole" is prohibited, it is not possible to access the river even for a photo. The only accessible site is that of Stifone, about 1.5km upstream where you can also go for a swim upon payment of a ticket

Stifone Village and the Crystal-clear Waters of the Nera

Highlight • Settlement

Born on numerous karst springs, which have always moved the mills, it owes its importance to it, both in the classical age and in the Middle Ages.
