    A town of medieval origin, it was the birthplace of the famous mercenary leader, Andrea Fortebracci, better known as Braccio da Montone who, among his other exploits, created a strong state in central Italy in the first decades of the 15th century among today's regions of Umbria, Lazio and Abruzzo, one of the boldest attempts to create an independent state from the power of the Papal States.
    In 1473 Carlo Fortebracci, following in his father's footsteps, fought in the service of the Serenissima Republic of Venice and managed to drive the Turks back into the sea, receiving a thorn from Christ's crown as a gift for this service. Carlo sends the precious relic to Montone and decrees the feast of the thorn on Easter Monday.

    Passed to the Vitelli family at the beginning of the 16th century, Montone was annexed to the State of the Church in the mid-16th century.
