De Castro Farnectae

2025, Amazon

The book on Farnetta, a small settlement in Umbria, provides an in-depth and analytical examination of the socio-technical systems, structural heritage, and historical dynamics that have influenced the development of this locality over the centuries. Situated at a strategic point in the region, Farnetta possesses a rich historical framework, with origins traceable to the Medieval period, when the area frequently served as a battleground for territorial disputes, including incursions by the Chiaravalle faction and military conflicts with neighboring Umbrian centers, such as Narni. Leveraging archival documentation, regional chronicles, and oral history, the text reconstructs the village's phased development, detailing its sociocultural infrastructure, the pivotal role of communal and ecclesiastical organizations, and the defensive functions of its castellated walls, designed for strategic fortification and population protection. Augmented by visual documentation, cartographic analyses of historical maps, and localized accounts, the book offers a multidimensional depiction of Farnetta. It serves as a critical resource for engineers, historians, and planners interested in the interplay of architectural design, defensive engineering, and historical land-use patterns within the context of an evolving rural settlement.
