history

The place was first owned by the Farfa monastery in the Sabina , because a fundus carbonianum in the Regestum Farfense from the year 817 is mentioned. In 1254 the castle belonged to the municipality of Viterbo ; in the late Middle Ages, the prefects of Vico and the Anguillara fought over possession. In 1443 the place appears as Carmignano in a document from Pope Eugen IV. In 1494 Alexander VI transferred it. it to Orsino Orsini, the son of his sister-in-law Adriana de Milà and the husband of his second mistress Giulia Farnese , who lived here until 1522: Orsino, lord of Vasanello , died on July 31, 1500. The daughter from this marriage, Laura Orsini, becomes speculative viewed as a child of Pope Alexander. On November 16, 1505, she married Nicolò Franciotti della Rovere, one of the nephews of Pope Julius II , and brought 30,000 ducats into the marriage as a dowry. At her death in 1531 she bequeathed her property to her son Giulio della Rovere, who died around 1550 as the last of his family line. From 1577, Carbognano belonged to the main line of the Colonna family in Palestrina as an inheritance from her daughter Elena Franciotti della Rovere , because Elena had married Stefano Colonna of Palestrina in her second marriage and brought the towns of Carbogano, Vasanello and Gallese into the marriage. On January 25, 1630, Francesco Colonna, second prince of Palestrina, sold this city to Pope Urban VIII in exchange for Carbognano while retaining the title of prince. Since then, the Princes of Carbognano and Dukes of Vasanello have resided in their family palace in the center of Carbognano for nine generations. As the last title holder, Urbano Colonna, ninth Prince of Carbognano and ninth Duke of Vasanello, died in his plane on October 11, 1942 during an Italian air raid on the island of Malta . With this the line of the Colonna of Carbognano became extinct.
