Until the early 13th century, Castel Ritaldi was an imperial fief. Shortly after 1213 it passed under the authority of the Roman Curia, which governed it through a vicar responsible for justice and taxation, while certain feudal rights remained with the Lambardi, Cattanei and Litaldesi families. Over the course of the 13th century the commune was drawn into the expansionist policy of Spoleto. By November 1247 it formed part of the district of Spoleto, and in June 1254 the feudal families formally ceded their remaining rights to the city. In 1298 the castle was forcibly resubmitted by Spoleto after resistance and ecclesiastical opposition. Between 1572 and 1585 municipal statutes were compiled, giving formal shape to local institutions. During the Roman Republic of 1798–1799 the municipality was included in the .

By royal decree of 29 June 1875 Castel San Giovanni was aggregated to the commune, raising the population to 1,658 inhabitants. On 10 March 1927 the municipality was suppressed and reduced to a delegation dependent on Spoleto,…
