Carnaiola, a village of Fabro
The earliest records date back to Roman times, when a fort was built near the bridge of the Big Board, a sealed design to limit the effects of floods in the Val di Chiana during the overflow into the Tiber, perhaps on the direct behest of Nero in 65 AD [2 ]. It seems that in this area will join a variant of the Roman road Cassia and Trajan. At the beginning of the eleventh century there was built a castle for defensive purposes, first inhabited by a certain Philipensibus de Paris and then by members of Monaldeschi and the Congregation of the Barons. The Baglioni (historian) said that the captain Francesco da Carnaiola attacked Città della Pieve in 1449. The count of Oratio Marsciano then reworked the castle in the sixteenth century and turned it into palace: the high costs of restructuring forced the heirs to this on the sale. During the nineteenth century was owned by the Sienese Meoni Buonconvento: lived with them for a time the Count Giovanni Cozza, father of the archaeologist, architect, painter and inventor Adolfo Cozza. Since 1922 belongs to another owner. The village grew in the fifteenth century along the road to the castle. Separate municipality until 1869 when it was merged by the municipality at the time was part of the province of Perugia [3].
