Collemancio

The earliest records of Collemancio date back to 1224, when Honorius III granted the bishop of Assisi jurisdiction over the castle. It became a free commune in 1293 and came under the jurisdiction of Perugia in 1377. From 1516 to 1648, it was part of the County of Spello and Bettona, serving as the summer residence of the Baglioni family. Upon the death without heirs of Malatesta V (1648), the fiefdom passed to the Papal States and was subsequently incorporated into the municipality of Cannara in 1870.
