<> HISTORY of Ferentillo
The village's origins go back to the 8th century, and its history is tied to that of the Abbey of San Pietro in Valle, in defense of which two castles were built in about 1200.

At one time an independent commune, it was later under the seigniory of the Cybo and the Ancaiani families, and was involved in lengthy wars against Montefranco and Spoleto.

Ferentillo's vicissitudes followed those of the Abbey, and the abbatial fief tried to make itself independent from both the Duchy of Spoleto and the Lateran Chapter.

The territory became a small state in 1484 thanks to Pope Innocent VIII, a Cybo, who named his nephew Franceschetto Cybo as first Lord of Ferentillo.

Franceschetto married Maddalena dè Medici and in 1515 his son, Lorenzo Cybo, wed Ricciarda Malaspina, thus uniting Ferentillo with the Principality of Massa Carrara and Piombino.

The Cybo dynasty lasted until 1730, when it passed to Duke Nicolò Benedetti and the Montevecchi of Fano. Ferentillo became a Commune with the Unification of Italy. Art, Culture, Environment.

<> STORIA di Ferentillo
Le origini del paese risalgono all'VIII secolo e la sua storia è legata a quella dell'abbazia di San Pietro in Valle, a difesa della quale, nel 1200, furono eretti due castelli.

Prima libero comune, poi sotto la signoria dei Cybo e degli Ancaiani, lottò a lungo contro Montefranco e Spoleto.

Le vicende di Ferentillo seguirono sempre quelle dell'abbazia, che tentò di rendersi indipendente sia dal Ducato di Spoleto sia dal Capitolo Lateranense.
