ST. FRANCIS TOUR: ASSISI AND GUBBIO IN ONE DAY
Gubbio was a Roman center as is demonstrated by the Eugubine Tablets (3rd – 1st century B.C.), the most remarkable epigraphic heirloom of pre-Roman Italy. They consist of seven bronze tablets which offer ritual directions for particular ceremonies, and also give indications as to the organization of the Eugubine city-state.
Gubbio was an ally of Rome as far back as the 3rd century B.C. As a municipality under the authority of the Crustumina tribe, the town flourished in the early centuries of the Empire, as one can still see today from the many archaelogical remains, among which those of the Roman Theatre.
In 1350, when Giovanni Gabrielli became lord of the city, development came to a halt.
Cardinal Albornoz, in 1354, defeated the tyrant, Gubbio came under the dominion of the church, but with relative autonomy.
In 1376 the town rebelled against this state of affairs; soon afterwards Bishop Gabriele Gabrielli took power.
There ensued a period of internal fighting which ended with the subjection of Gubbio to the Montefeltro family (1384).
The domination of the Counts and Dukes of Urbino (Montefeltro until 1508, Della Rovere until 1631) gave rise to a period of relative civic prosperity when the arts flourished, especially under the dominion of Guidantonio and Federico di Montefeltro.
Federico began the construction in Renaissance style of the Ducal Palace. The people of Gubbio remained faithful to the lords of Urbino even during the brief hegemony of Valentino in 1502 and of Lorenzo dei Medici in 1516-1519.
1798- in the time of Napoleon the town was made part of the Cisalpine Republic, then of the Roman Republic (1798-1799), and finally, from 1808 to 1814, of the Italic Kingdom.
