Scheggia e Pascelupo
Scheggia e Pascelupo is a "comune" (municipality) in the Province of Perugia in the Italian region Umbria, located about 40 km northeast of Perugia. The municipal seat is located in the main village of Scheggia, just below Scheggia Pass on Route "SS/SR 3 Flaminia", following the ancient Via Flaminia. History. The site was a Roman "Mansio" (an official stopping place) named "Mutatio ad Hensem" on the Via Flaminia, at the crossing with the path Gubbio – Sassoferrato, which here crossed the Appennini. Near the pass, according to the Tabula Peutingeriana, lay the "temple of Jupiter Apenninus", one  of the largest sanctuaries of the Umbrians, of which no traces have been found so far. In the 12th century the village was a possession of the Hermitage of Fonte Avellana, founded by Saint Romuald on the slope of Monte Catria. This retreat later became a large Benedictine monastery, which ruled on the whole territory around Scheggia. Later the village became a possession of Perugia and then of the Montefeltro, until it became part of the Papal States. In 1444 near the village were possibly found the Iguvine Tablets, the most important document of the Umbrian language. Pascelupo, autonomous municipality  until 1878, merged with Scheggia forming the current municipality. Borders.
