	Deruta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The ravages of plague were so fierce at Deruta that rewalling in the later 15th century took in a smaller circuit to accommodate the reduced population.
		Besieged in 1408 during the confusion of the Papal Schism by the condottiere Braccio da Montone, and later heavily damaged by Cesare Borgia, Deruta was plundered by Braccio Baglioni, the master of Perugia.
		Thus in 1531, when the Papal forces of Pope Paul III ousted the Baglioni family from Perugia in the brief war over salt taxes locally called the "Salt War" (Guerra del Sale), Deruta sided with the papacy against Perugia, an alliance that gained it a reduction in taxes.

	Montone
		A fortified village was documented at Montone in 1121, although the castle and town would have been built some time before then - the nearby Aries Fortress dates from the 9th Century, and this is believed to be the starting point of the Fortebracci family’s building of the town.
		Probably the high point in history for Montone was in the 15th Century when Andrea Braccio Fortebracci, also known as Braccio da Montone, conceived of the idea to create a single state in central Italy centred on Perugia.
		The Vitelli family, of Citta di Castello, governed Montone for a hundred years and then the town returned to papal rule until unification, except for a period in the 18th Century when the town joined the Cisalpine Republic.
