The Premio Umbria is a Listed flat horse race in Italy open to thoroughbreds aged two years or older. It is run at Capannelle over a distance of 1,200 metres (about 6 furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in November.
History The Premio Umbria is named after Umbria, a region of central Italy.
For a period the Premio Umbria held Group 3 status. It was promoted to Group 2 level in 1982, and relegated back to Group 3 in 1988. It was relegated to Listed in 2023.
The race was called Premio Carlo e Francesco Aloisi from 2007 to 2021. It was run in memory of Carlo Aloisi (died 1990s) and his brother Francesco (died 2007). Carlo was a former president of UNIRE, a governing body of horse racing in Italy, and Francesco was president of the Jockey Club Italiano.
