Unknown origins, arises between two fortresses from the fourteenth century with medieval walls. The name "Ferentillo" derives from "those from Ferento", how the natives called the new comers. These in fact, in 742, in fight against the Duke of Spoleto, brought with them armigers and colonists from the city of "Ferentum" of which, exactly "Ferentum illi". Rose probably in Longobardic epoch, its two castles with the respective fortifications were built in the 1 200's for defence of the neighbouring abbey of San Pietro in Valle. In 1190, according to a document of those times, Ferentillo results being a defensive system of the abbey, constituted by the fortresses of Loreno Borsino, Rocca S. Pietro, Rocca di Sasso. In 1245, the property of the abbey were widely extended but continually troubled by disorders, it was so that in the 1300's Bonifacio VIIIth took the jurisdiction of the abbey and entrusted it to Capitolo Lateranense. The feud passes in the family Trinci's hands in 1415, then, a hundred years after, it became dominion of the prince Lorenzo Cybo. The abbey was excluded from the possession, which from 1477, through Sisto VI, had a delegate of the Spoletini barons Ancajani, as a commander abbot. With the dominion of the Cybo, the feud of Ferentillo may be considered a small State. In 1563 it was regulated by a statute called "Statulum Status Ferentillo" "Serenddimi Ducis Massae Cybo". The seigniory of the Cybo lasted until 1730 when, Alderano sold the feud to duke Nicolò Benedetti and to Montevecchio from Fano. |
