[edit] History
The origins of the town date back to the 11th century, when probably the castle already existed. For the excellent geographical position, Ficulle was contended by two families: Monaldeschi and Filippeschi. It suffered their struggles until 1416 A.D., when the town passed under control of the Papal States.
