The area where the town of Pietralunga stands has been inhabited since prehistoric times, however the first inhabited center was founded by the Umbrians while it was the Romans who later left the valley below to settle in today's position. The current town has a typical medieval appearance with the oldest nucleus developing around the Rocca and the Parish Church of Santa Maria.

The history of Pietralunga is at least as rich as the variety of names this place has had over the millennia. Founded by the Umbrians with the name of Tufi, it later came under the influence of Rome with the name of Forum Julii Concupiensium. Razed to the ground during the barbarian invasions, it was rebuilt with the name of Plebs Tuphiae. Over time the vast fields that surround it earned it the name of Pratalonga, a name that persisted until the advent of the Kingdom of Italy which Italianized it into Pietralunga.

The small medieval town of Pietralunga is located in northern Umbria on a hill in the northeastern area of the Upper Tiber Valley. As numerous finds and preserved ruins from Roman antiquity show, the settlement is very old (Forum Julii Concupiensium).
