Hiking

The town extends in length along the southern slopes of the mountain of the same name, at 748 m above sea level, and is a climatic station frequented in summer for its mild and dry climate.
...
The name probably derives from the Latin silva carpinea, or "hornbeam forest". The hornbeam, both white and black, is in fact a very common tree in the woods of Carpegna.

In the center of the town stands the imposing Palazzo dei Principi di Carpegna Falconieri, designed by the Roman architect Giovanni Antonio De' Rossi for Cardinal Gaspare di Carpegna. The palace, begun in 1675 and completed after over twenty years, is inspired by the fortified villas of Florentine origin and the large noble residences of the Roman countryside. It is still inhabited by the descendants of the thousand-year-old family and has remained almost intact after over 300 years, a fire and some strong earthquakes (1781).
