history
The place originated in the 1250s when the subordinates of the Cavalieri Gerosolimitani from Magione (then Pian di Carpine) bought the area from the Bishop of Perugia and built buildings here to oppose the lords of the Gerosolimitani. On May 17, 1261, Alexander IV asked the city of Perugia to intervene. Thereupon the troops from Perugia completely destroyed the place. The Montecolognola Castle was built in the 1290s, this time with permission from Perugia. The place already had 561 inhabitants in 1410. With permission from Perugia, the defensive walls were reinforced in 1481. In 1643/44 the place was besieged by the Grand Duchy of Tuscany under Ferdinando II. De 'Medici , the damage to the fortifications and houses was not repaired later.
