The Trinci come from the Lombards , the kings Claim and Hildeprand are among their ancestors. Originally they belonged to the latter in the conflict between the Ghibellines and Guelphs before they switched to the Ghibellines in 1240 and again changed camps before 1305. In Foligno they were the successors of the Ghibelline family Anastasi and made the Signoria of Foligno from 1305 to 1439, as Corrado III. Trinci the place after disputes with Pope Eugenius IV. , And after several years of siege by Giovanni Vitelleschi the Papal States had left. The 134-year rule was only briefly interrupted from September to December 1377 when the Ghibellines of the Lega delle Libertà proclaimed the republic. Trincia II Trinci fell victim to this uprising, but his brother Corrado II Trinci led the Signoria of Foligno again from December 1377. On January 10, 1421, the brothers Niccolò I. Trinci and Bartolomeo were killed in an attack in the fortress of Nocera Umbra by Pietro di Rasiglia. The surviving brother, Corrado III Trinci, had Nocera Umbra taken by Braccio da Montone and destroyed. In 1437 he made his son Rinaldo II Trinci Archbishop of Foligno , who however had to pass on his post to Cristoforo Corfini Boscari in September 1439 when his father lost power.

In 1439 these properties passed to the Papal States. The Palazzo Trinci in Foligno was built between 1389 and 1407 by Ugolino III. Trinci .
