<div>
	A legend recorded by Valli said that a Armileone Carpegna in 466 receives a gift, for services rendered to Odoacer, the domain on the mountain named after him. In a 962 Ulderico of Carpegna Count, his alleged descendant, received by Emperor Otto I confirmed the domain lands and other feuds in Montefeltro and Romagna which legitimizes the title of imperial fiefdom (document later proved false).</div>
<div>
	Jurisdictions of Carpegna, located between accounts Montefeltro, Mass Trabaria and high Tiber Valley, straddling the Apennines between Umbria, Tuscany, Marche and Romagna, in the Middle Ages came to understand several dozen castles. In the modern era they were constituted eight castles, four of which were included in the county of Carpegna and four others in Scavolino principality. It was Feudi Imperiali, that is virtually independent territories, autonomous from neighboring states (the Papal States, the Duchy of Urbino - the benefit of which several castles were gone before employees from Carpegna and where his Lords, the Montefeltro, always will claim also the fief of Carpegna as their own - and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany). These imperial Carpegna feuds remained in existence until 1819, when they were handed over to the Pope.</div>
<div>
	In 1463 the death of Count Francesco, the heirs divide the possessions of the county, giving rise to the two lines of the counts of Carpegna Carpegna and Castellaccia Scavolino Gattara. In 1670 Cardinal Gaspare (-1714), it became very influential in the Roman court, unable to receive recognition for the remarkable ancestral county autonomy. It stands as his home over the palace in Rome, an imposing residence in the country. so the county has a mill for the production of gunpowder that the considerable increase revenue, receives the papal privilege to trade salt purchased in Rimini at the same price of any other sovereign state, thus increasing the salt trade and other merchandise between the Rimini coast and Tuscany. The accounts agree with the neighboring Republic of San Marino who, thanks to their privileges at the papal court, manages to maintain its effective independence although never explicitly claimed. His nephew Francesco Maria X, however, no male offspring and appoint his heir his nephew Antonio, born of the marriage of Maria Laura daughter with the Marquis Mario Gabrielli. But the Emperor Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor, irritated as the Grand Duke of Tuscany, wants to enforce the agreement in 1490 with Florence, where he sanctioned the transfer of sovereignty on the county to the Florentine Republic in the men extinction of the family. So giugno 10 1749 108 Tuscan soldiers invade Carpegna. But soon France takes the side of the Church protest against the aggression towards the territories she claimed to which are flanked by the kingdom of Sardinia and Spain to support the autonomy of the feud. The emperor, found itself diplomatically isolated, after some years of uncertainty, withdrew its troops in 1754 and the count Antonio di Carpegna Gabrielli becomes the actual possessor of the county until Napoleon&#39;s expropriation of 1807.</div>

<div>
	At the center of the village stands the imposing Palazzo dei Principi di Carpegna Falconieri, designed by the Roman architect Giovanni Antonio de &#39;Rossi for Cardinal Gaspare Carpegna. The building, begun in 1675 and ended after over twenty years, is inspired by the fortified villas of Florence and the great stately homes of the Roman Campagna matrix.</div>
<div>
	It is still inhabited by the descendants of the millenary family and remained intact after more than 300 years, a fire and some strong earthquake (1781).</div>
<div>
	Consists of four levels, the ground floor are the stables, the stables and the kitchens, the work of highly engineered for maintenance and cooking food. Going up the wide staircase leads to the lobby with the main inputs and the small but charming family Chapel. Climbing further leads to the &quot;heart&quot; of the Palace, the noble floor, where we find the Throne Room, the Green Room and the Yellow Room - so named because of the color of the ornaments that decorate - and precious library, containing between the many volumes also priceless medieval manuscripts. On the fourth and top floor we finally find the rooms, as well as the current home of the descendants.</div>

	Here and at the Rocca of Sassocorvaro, during World War II, the then Superintendent of the Galleries and Art Works of Marche Pasquale Rotondi, transported and guardians away from the retreating German army raids over 10,000 works &#39;art. In memory of the risky operation of rescuing the &quot;Pasquale Rotondi Award was established&quot;, awarded annually to those who, even at the international level, have distinguished themselves for &quot;saving actions specimens of the artistic heritage.&quot; [4]</div>
