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.
