History & geography

History

Sellano formed part of the Duchy of Spoleto during the Lombard period and was under the Diocese of Spoleto from the early Christian and Lombard eras. It may have been under the control of the family until the end of the 12th century. In the 12th century it came under the lords of Norcia, while in the 13th century it passed under the control of the Papal State. During the 14th century it was a fief of the Colligola family of Montesanto. In the Middle Ages Sellano developed as an autonomous mountain municipality, maintaining an alliance with Spoleto. Owing to its strategic position, it played an important role in the area while remaining dependent on neighbouring centres. It showed Ghibelline and autonomist tendencies, and experienced political uprisings that continued until 1523. In the early modern period Sellano remained within the territory of the district of Spoleto until the Napoleonic era. In 1860 Sellano voted for annexation to the Kingdom of Italy. In 1895 Sellano had a population of 2,752 inhabitants.
