Collemincio

It is believed that Collemincio was the result of the disintegration of the Nocera county that occurred in the late tenth century with the arrival in Italy of Emperor Otto III. The name Mincio seems Roman. Its earliest record is a document dated 1149. In 1258, Alexander V invited it to submit to the Duchy of Spoleto, instead of disobeying like Perugia, Gualdo Tadino and Casacastalda.
According to the sources, in 1279 men from Casacastalda were obliged to live in the new castle, Castel Perugino, unlike those from Collemincio; the latter would instead do so following article 135 of the Statutes of Perugia in 1342. Perugia took possession of this feud around the late thirteenth century; the feud was handed over to Tesco Ridolfi by the Minor Friars of Gualdo Tadino. In 1320, the castle was destroyed by the Assisi and Perugia ordered the men living there to rebuild it, even with the help of men from other castles. According to the Statutes of Perugia of 1342 and the sixteenth century, Collemincio was under the jurisdiction of the castle of Casacastalda. In the first quarter of the fourteenth century, the Earle of Schifanoia owned lands in Collemincio; the feud was then transferred by hereditary rights to the Della Della Penna of Perugina and to Degli Oddi, heirs of Raniero of Bernardino. Later on, the owners were the Signorelli of Perugia, which obtained Collemincio from the Vatican. During subsequent wars, the Austrian defeated the French and in 1799, following the fall of the Roman Republic, and the Austrian imperial regency was established in Perugia and Collemincino annexed to the Municipality of Casacastalda. The Castle has been under Valfrabbrica since 1929 along with Giomici, Coccorano and Poggio Morico .The Church is dedicated to St. Peter and was probably founded in the twelfth century like the castle.
