ellera

Ellera is a small hamlet in central Italy. It is a frazione of the comune of Corciano, in the Province of Perugia, Umbria. The settlement is part of the rural hinterland of Perugia and lies near the municipal boundaries of Corciano.

The area combines residential neighborhoods with agricultural land, including olive groves and cereal fields typical of Umbria. Local small businesses provide services to residents and the surrounding farming community.

Ellera is served by the Ellera-Corciano railway station on the Rome–Ancona line, which provides regional connections to Perugia, Ancona, and other centers. Bus services link Ellera with Corciano, Perugia, and nearby towns.

Historically, Ellera traces its origins to the medieval period and developed around agriculture and local trade. In the modern era it remained a distinct hamlet within Corciano's territory, retaining rural characteristics alongside limited new housing. The community centers on a parish church and a network of family-run farms and associations that organize local events.
