Sigillo

Sigillo is a small town set on the slopes of Mount Cucco. It was already inhabited by the Umbrians when the Romans arrived and made it a Roman town under Augustus the 6th. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the city was destroyed by Totila (552) and later rebuilt by the Longobards who incorporated it into the Duchy of Spoleto. Throughout the Middle Ages, Sigillo endured a series of invasions, and was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt until the 15th century, when it became part of the Church State, remaining under it’s ruling until the Kingdom of Italy was formed. At the heart of the Regional Park of Mount Cucco, Sigillo is an ideal destination for hang gliders (the 1999 World Hang-gliding Championships were held here), and is perfect for hikers, mountain bikers and pot-holers.
