[edit] History
The town developed around the Abbey of Santa Maria in Vado Fabricae, created by the monks of Nonantola. Later it was contended by the communes of Gubbio and Assisi, until it was conquered by the Papal States.
The historical center has remains of the medieval walls and two towers. Notable is also the Romanesque pieve with 14th century frescoes.
