Beyond all the circumstances of the origin, but the
strategic position guarding important roads, crossing the ancient territory,
indicates its defensive function in a system headed by Orvieto. A chronicle of
the '500 dates the foundation of the first tower called "the
formwork" from the eighth century., But the first documentary evidence
appear in the thirteenth century. And it is from this period that the history
of the castle and the village is intertwined with that of the Monaldeschi (+
1584), famous military man, you have the initiative to transform the ancient
fortified structure and elegant residence campaign on the Renaissance model.
The architects were hired the same people who also worked in the cathedral of
Orvieto and Monaldeschi palace city Scalza for works of sculpture and
architecture and Cesare Nebbia and his workshop for pictorial decoration. The
Monaldeschi retained the property until the mid-seventeenth century, when it
passed by inheritance to the family Bourbon del Monte. In 1880 Guido Bourbon
del Monte sold it to the banker Antwerp Edoardo Cahen, who started a complete
renovation of the building entrusting the project to the Sienese architect
Giuseppe Partini. Following the trend of revival in vogue at the time, Partini
realized an imposing neo-Gothic structure clad in gray stone of Bagnoregio,
concealing the true medieval and Renaissance stratifications. The fifteenth
century residence Monaldeschi remain the prospect of the inner courtyard and a
wing on the first floor which houses a monumental stone fireplace and a
decorative cycle celebrating the House. The son of Edoardo Cahen, Rodolfo
Teofilo, completed the work, commissioned the painted decoration to the Roman
artist Pietro Ridolfi (1906) and the elegant door panels cabinetmaker Sienese
Tito Corsini (1915). In the renewed and elegant residence Rudolph returned to
stay until the promulgation of racial laws, when he was forced to abandon
Italy. Having changes in ownership marks the subsequent history of the castle.
