The Premio Carlo e Francesco Aloisi is a Group 3 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.

The event was formerly known as the Premio Umbria. It was 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.

The race was given its present title in 2007. It is now 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.
