Federico da Montefeltro
In 1394, Braccio Fortebraccio of Montone was held prisoner here. Released after the payment of a ransom, he then conquered the castle and used it as a personal residence until his death in 1424. In the following years the castle was under the rule of the State of the Church; in 1478 the structure, together with the surrounding territories, was devastated by the troops of Federico da Montefeltro.
