A municipality in the province of Perugia, located on the slopes of Mount Ingino, in a predominant location over the plain crossed by streams Assino, Saonda and San Donato, the town of Gubbio has typically medieval characteristics, a maze of streets, alleys and staircases and is surrounded by fortified walls. It is a sort of treasure chest, rich in monumental buildings, fortified palaces, watchtowers, churches, staircases, steep and narrow streets, which offer charming views. It is famous for its local art crafts: pottery, wood engraving and iron works.
The first settlement was founded by the Umbrian and in the III century A.D., Gubbio allied with Rome and was proclaimed Municipium, and shared with the Romans, the same historical events. After the fall of the Empire, the town, with no fortifications, was destroyed by Barbarians. Proved to be insecure, the old center was soon abandoned and the inhabitant built new houses in a more secure location, more inland on the slopes of Mount Ingino. At first conquered by the Byzantines, later it became a Lombard possession. In the Middle Ages, proclaimed municipality and granted with a certain autonomy; Gubbio went through a period of great development and prosperity. Under the rule of the Papal States, thanks to the donation to the Church by the Franks, its inhabitants were convinced to support the Guelph faith, after having been for quite a while, on the Ghibelline's side. In the mid XIV century, the fief became a possession of the Gabrielli Family, while later it passed to the Montefeltro, Dukes of Urbino, which throughout their domain, until the XVI century, provided the city with new splendor. A century later, Gubbio became a Della Rovere possession, until 1631, it was annexed to the Papal States.
