 Location Description

History

Spoleto was founded in 241 B.C. as a Roman colony but was already an important centre due to its strategical position from the time of Iron Age.
Attracted into the Roman orbit since the III century B.C., its importance grew greater and greater especially when it proved to be a loyal ally of the Romans by heroically resisting the siege of Hannibal during the Punic Wars.
Spoleto was a Roman Municipality and registred to the Horatia tribe since 90 A.D., its prestige is demonstrated by the important archeological finds of the time, that one can still admire today (temples, amphitheatre, bridge, theatre, houses).
After an obscure period, caused by the first barbaric invasions, Spoleto started to increase its power, firstly with Teodorico, who in 493, commenced the work of restoration of the main monuments of the town and the dregding of the surrounding swamps. Later, under the Longobard dominion it was raised to be the seat of an important Dukedom and finally after having been a feudal stronghold of the Francs, at the fall of the Carolingian Empire, the Dukes of Spoleto namely Guido III (890) and his son Lamberto (892) succeeded in conquering the Imperial crown.
Even though Spoleto was involved in the struggling fights between the Papal seat and the Empire, to the point of being destroyed by Frederick I in 1155, and in spite of the fierce fights between the Guelfi and the Ghibellini, Spoleto managed to continue its urbanistic development during the middle ages and especially during the Romanesque period.
Masterpieces of inestimable architectural and pictorial value were produced (the Cathedral, S. Pietro, S. Eufemia, S. Paolo, S. Gregorio, S. Ponziano and the frescoes in S. Paolo, S. Gregorio and Ss. Giovanni e Paolo). After the exile of the Pope in Avignon, Pope Vincent VI restored the pontificial power, through the Cardinal Albornoz, who negotiated peace in the town and started building the "Rocca" (fortress) and the bridge of the Towers.
The Renaissance bestowes Spoleto another magnificent artistic period mainly for the pictorial art (the frescoes by Filippo Lippi and the Pinturicchio in the Duomo, the frescoes by the Spagna).
It was chosen as regional capital of the Trasimeno department during the French occupation and later became a Pontificial Delegation until 1860, when the newly born Italian State, decreted Perugia as the capital of the Umbria region.
