History
Poggiodomo is first mentioned in documentary sources in the 13th century. On 22 October 1233 it was listed among the possessions of the Duchy of Spoleto. In 1276 the castle was donated to Spoleto by Mimaldesca, daughter of Oderisio. During the 14th century the settlement was transferred from the jurisdiction of Spoleto to that of Cascia. In the 15th and 16th centuries it experienced boundary disputes and episodes of factional unrest, reflecting the broader instability of the whole region. In 1527, amid the incursions of Landsknechts and the mercenaries of , the community placed itself under the protection of Spoleto. In 1536 the claims of Cascia over the territory were formally confirmed. In the late 16th century the area was affected by the spread of banditry. As a response, the Prefecture of the Mountain was reestablished and a military garrison stationed at Norcia in an effort to restore order. Conditions improved in the 17th century, when unrest declined and a phase of economic recovery followed. On 17 May 1809, Poggiodomo was annexed to the First French Empire and in the same year was elevated to the status of mairie within the Department of Trasimeno. After the fall of Napoleonic rule, the papal administrative restoration of 1816–1818 confirmed Poggiodomo's municipal status. During the Roman Republic of 1849 documentation is limited, but from that year until October 1851 the municipality was governed by a commission. Ordinary municipal administration was restored on 1 November 1851. In 1859, Poggiodomo had a population of 710 inhabitants. The 20th century brought significant infrastructural improvements. Between 1927 and the 1930s Poggiodomo and Usigni were electrified; after 1947 electricity reached Mucciafora and Roccatamburo. Aqueducts and a school…
