storia della cittą
Rose in the Valley of the Campiano torrent or Castoriana Valley during the Benedictine colonisation in the high Middle-ages, it was refuge of numerous hermits. Preci dominates from above the Castoriana Valley which name derives or from a local feudatory called Castorus or from a little pagan temple dedicated to Castore and Polluce. It was mentioned by San Gregorio in 594 a.C. in "Dialogorum" books for the presence of numerous prebenedictine hermits. Among them, of great importance, was the Sant'Eutizio Abbey where the monastic vocation of San Benedetto took root. The Abbey had a very luxuriant life like eutizian congregation from the IXth to the XIIIth century The surgical school which successively, especially in the XVlth century makes it famous in all of Europe "Pulchra Sabina Preces Prisca Chirurgis patria". The decline of Sant'Eutizio in the XIIIth century marks the entrance of Preci in the Dominions of Norcia. Heavily damaged by an earthquake in 1328, will be rebuild by the Nursini. About 1527 it was fenced of siege by the "legate of the march" troops. Successively it was destroyed by Norcia for its rebellion and rebuild in 1534. It was constituted free Commune by Pio VIIth in 1817 |
