history

The castle Castello di Paciano was first mentioned in a document by Berengar I in 917 and was located in the oldest part of the village above today's municipality. The newer part of the place originated around the year 1300. It was called Castro Pacciani Novi and was under the rule of Chiusi . From the middle of the 13th century the place was ruled by Perugia. In 1313 the community was at war with Todi . In 1416 Paciano submitted to Braccio da Montone . After the Oddi family were expelled by the Baglioni in 1489, Perugia again took the place and fell under the control of the Papal States .

In 1643 Paciano was captured by Matteo de 'Medici , a son of Cosimo II. De' Medici , but shortly afterwards returned to the Papal States. In 1672, Pope Clement X. declared the place a county . In 1798 the place broke away from the Papal States for a year and joined the Roman Republic . By the Napoleonic occupation in 1809 Paciano was again separated from the Papal States. This separation lasted until 1816, when the town, this time independent of Panicale, was reassigned to the Papal States and remained there until the unification of Italy in 1860.
