Raggiolo suffered a harsh reprisal for having rebelled in 1391, but the final blow to the castle was given in 1440 by Piccinino's troops, who destroyed it and killed most of the inhabitants. The castle was never rebuilt and Raggiolo was added to the Vicariate of Poppi. During the 16th century the town was populated by a colony of Corsicans who arrived here from the Maremma following the flocks of transhumant sheep. They formed a real enclave: the Corsi di Raggiolo, ancestors of the current inhabitants. The tradition of the town still refers to them today.
