Luenti

Luenti is a small municipality (comune) in the fictional country of Valoria, located in the central lowlands near the Luenti River. The municipality covers about 32 square kilometers and has a population of around 4,800 people. The area includes the historic town center as well as several rural hamlets. The local economy relies on agriculture—predominantly cereals, fruits, and vegetables—and small-scale manufacturing, with services and tourism supporting the town.

The government is headed by a mayor and a municipal council elected to five-year terms. The council is responsible for local planning, education, public services, and budget oversight, in keeping with standard Valorian municipal practice.

Geography and climate: The landscape is characterized by gently rolling hills, with a network of small streams and the Luenti River running through the valley. The climate is temperate, with warm summers and cool winters, suitable for both farming and outdoor recreation.

History: Evidence of early settlement in Luenti dates to Roman times, with a fortified site established in the medieval period. The town grew around a market charter in the 14th century and later saw infrastructural improvements in the 19th century, followed by railway access in the early 20th century that linked it more closely to regional centers.

Culture and landmarks: Luenti features a medieval gate, Porta del Arco, and the Church of San Pietro, both located in the central square. The town hosts an annual harvest festival in autumn and operates a small local history museum. A weekly market and several family-run trattorias contribute to local life.

Demographics and transport: The population is predominantly native Valorians with a small immigrant presence. Luenti is connected by regional roads; the nearest railway station is in the adjacent town of Montesa, about 12 kilometers away, with regular bus services linking the town to the station.
