We don't know the exact year when the town of Todi was founded - some chroniclers indicate 1955 B.C. - but we know without doubt that it was first inhabited by Umbrian tribes, later by the Etruscans.In 1236 came into the world, in Todi, Jacopo dei Benedetti, called Jacopone, one of the most important figures of Franciscanism. Later Todi belonged to various dominions, and after this period the town was placed directly under the central power of the Papal State, which finished in 1860, with the Unification of Italy.The 20th century has made Todi famous all over the world: for its historic monuments, the fascination of its medieval atmosphere and the unique beauty of its countryside.
