Parrano is in the western part of the Alto Orvietano area and is located on the slopes of Monte Peglia at 441 m. above sea level. It is around 10 km. from the toll highway exit of Fabro. The name comes from the Latin "Parra" (Upupa or hoopoe bird). the hamlet developed around the castle in the 11th century. In the "Tane del diavolo" or "Devil's Dens" nearby, a complex of grottoes of particular environmental and speleological interest, archaeological material dating to the Upper Palaeolithic period and the Bronze Age have been found. It is one of the most significant sites for Paleolithic settlements in Central Italy. Sulfur-magnesium springs flow out at the foot of the "Devil's Dens". In 1994 an interesting Etruscan tomb was found near the località Soriano, containing fine artefacts and pottery.
