Castle Monte Santa Maria Ti Perugia Umbria Holiday Rentals in Italy

Property description

The Castle was mentioned for the first time in documents dated 1195 preserved in the Bishop's Palace of Città di Castello. In 1250, the Castle was owned by the Lombardi family under the rule of Frederick II. The Marquises of M.S.M. Tiberina occupied the Castle in 1336, taking it from the Tarlati family which in turn had taken it from the Lombardi family in 1230. This possession was recognised and legalised, so to speak, in 1335 with an Imperial Diploma issued by Charles V of Luxemburg establishing the Feud of Monte Santa Maria Tiberina. In a document dated 15th February 1532, the members of the family of the Marquises of Monte Santa Maria Tiberina, established that the feud should be governed by the oldest member of the family and that this person should live in the Castle. In 1564, the members of the family decided to appoint a Vicar at Monte Santa Maria Tiberina in order to administer justice. In 1815, the feud of M.S.M. Tiberina was suppressed together with many other European feuds. In article 100 of the resolution of the Congress of Vienna dated 9th June 1815, the former feud was transferred to the Grand Duke of Tuscany which took possession of it on 29th August 1815. The Family of the Marquises of Monte Santa Maria Tiberina was deprived all its rights to rule the area but maintained possession of the Castle and its assets. In 1917, Prince San Faustino transferred ownership of the Castle to the Mignini Family, the current owners.
