History
The history of Solomeo is reportedly sparsely documented, but the settlement does have a precise foundation date. On 7 September 1391 the magistracy of Perugia appointed Meo di Giovanni di Nicola Galassi and Cristoforo di Pietro Tanoli to have the fortress of Solomeo built in the Perugian countryside near Meo's palace. They were authorized to compel nearby inhabitants to work on the construction, under penalty of imprisonment. After Solomeo was fortified, the parishes of Mandoleto and Montefrondoso were united to it. In 1399, after each of those parishes in turn built its own small fortress, they obtained permission to live independently of Solomeo. Today Solomeo has been largely restored by Brunello Cucinelli.
