Fortunago is a village in the province of Pavia, in Lombardy, located in the Oltrepò Pavese, on the hills that divide the valleys of the Coppa and the Ardivestra. It is part of the club of "The most beautiful villages in Italy".

A picturesque medieval village, linked to the troubled love story between Pietro dal Verme and Cecilia del Maino, Fortunago was chosen for the splendid hilly landscapes by the director Paolo Virzì to give the face of Brianza in his film The Human Capital.
