history

The first name of the castle was Schiaginum , after which it was called Schezzino . The current name emerged from the 18th century. The castle or the community was allied with Spoleto until 1561, which led to sieges and destruction in 1391 and 1522 (by Picozzo Brancaleoni), after which it gave itself its own statutes. The place itself was created in the 16th century when houses were being built below the castle. The district of Civitella became part of the municipality in 1895, as did Monte San Vito, which was first a separate municipality and later belonged to Sant'Anatolia di Narco. After the unification of Italy , the population remained constant at approx. 900 inhabitants, since 1950 the place has experienced a population decline that is currently around half.
