It was a Guelph city which never aligned itself with the imperial forces, yet which fiercely maintained its independence from papal authority. Throughout much of the Middle Ages, it was a battleground for intense rivalries among a few prominent families, some representing the common people and others heralding from the entrenched feudal class that gradually moved into the city, which had meantime become the most significant in Umbria. The history of Perugia is thus not only closely linked to the conflicts between the Baglioni and the Oddi families, or, to be more specific, the degli Oddi dynasty, with the \u2018nuptial bloodbath\u2019 of 15 July 1500 (a violent confrontation that occurred during a wedding celebration meant to unify the two rival families which devolved into bloodshed, leading to a massacre that underscored the intense animosity between the factions), and pivotal moments in the evolution of Italian art, with the example of Raphael, the illustrious pupil of Pietro Perugino, who painted many remarkable and perhaps unsurpassed works here. There were also underground disputes with the local Municipality, where the city corporations that gathered in the Collegio del Cambio and the Mercanzia grew increasingly influential, against the control of the Apostolic Legates, who, upon their arrival from Rome, were frequently met with overt hostility (and were even literally <em>defenestrati<\/em> or thrown out of windows and forcibly removed) by its rebellious citizens. This tension culminated in 1540 with the complete dismantling of the city\u2019s autonomy, leading to the destruction of the Baglioni&#8217;s residences and the building of the Rocca Paolina fortrrss by Sangallo, resulting in the city\u2019s final subjugation to the authority of the Roman Supreme Pontiff.<br \/>\nThis all feels light years away today, as the city \u2013 still very highly regarded for its prestigious university \u2013 strives to create a modern identity that highlights significant events taking place in its different neighbourhoods. These periods of both national and international importance include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurochocolate.com\/\">Eurochocolate<\/a>, scheduled for the latter half of November and this year celebrating its thirtieth anniversary, as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umbriajazz.it\/en\/\">Umbria Jazz<\/a> concerts, which take place in the height of the summer months right in the centre, although the festival has now been expanded to Terni and Orvieto.<br \/>\nPerugia is strategically positioned at the core of several routes leading to the most notable spiritual and religious city in Italy (the Vatican excluded, of course). Assisi is half an hour away by car but can also be walked in five hours or so, as is witnessed annually with the Peace March held every October. It is close to Lago Trasimeno, the largest lake in central-southern Italy, which is a very popular tourist destination during the summer period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This itinerary aims to delve deep into the area around Perugia, the capital of a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":27907,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564,501],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-territories","category-umbria-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Umbria - Exploring historical residences around Perugia | Dimore Storiche Italiane<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/exploring-historical-residences-around-perugia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Umbria - Exploring historical residences around Perugia | Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This itinerary aims to delve deep into the area around Perugia, the capital of a [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/exploring-historical-residences-around-perugia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-10-29T13:24:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-11-28T13:19:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IsolaMaggioreLagoTrasimeno-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"960\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"720\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/exploring-historical-residences-around-perugia\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/exploring-historical-residences-around-perugia\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Alessandro D'Agostino\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/44c5fbb58a9ff02a18beac7215decfd7\"},\"headline\":\"Umbria &#8211;
