History
The settlement is traditionally traced to the 8th century, when its foundation was attributed to Azzone of the Atti family, acting on behalf of the dukes of Spoleto. From the early 11th century onward the original hill village underwent gradual urban expansion, and satellite settlements developed around the initial nucleus. During the 11th and 12th centuries the decline of the Lombard duchies enabled the assertion of greater local autonomy, followed by involvement in the conflicts between Guelph and Ghibelline factions. The castle suffered repeated devastation at the hands of , first in 1218, again in 1220, and once more in 1271. In 1250 Collazzone was sold to Todi and had several castles under its authority. It was destroyed in 1314 during the war between Perugia and Todi. In 1332 the settlement was absorbed into the rule of the Baglioni family of Perugia, whose control lasted until 1647, when the death of Orazio Baglioni brought their lordship to an end. It was then incorporated into the Papal administration together with Cannara, Bettona, Collemancio and Castelbuono. During the Napoleonic period the territory was separated from Todi and placed within the administrative district of the Department of Trasimeno. In 1817 it was recognized as an autonomous municipality under the government and district of Todi in the Delegation of Perugia. In 1895 the municipality had a population of 2,766 inhabitants.
Geography
Collazzone occupies the summit of a steep hill facing the Tiber, commanding an extensive view over the surrounding countryside. The town center is enclosed by high walls and has a single entrance, once protected by outer defensive works. At the lower end of the town stands a small fortress; a bell tower with a public clock later occupied the site. In 2021, 1,130 people lived in rural dispersed dwellings not assigned to any named locality. At the time, most of the population lived in Collepepe (1,370), and Collazzone proper (364).
