DERUTA.
Historical Background:
The origins of deruta date back to antiquity. Some archeaeological
discoveries prove that there had been a settlement  there during the bronze Age.
From the end of the Western Roman Empire the fate of deruta was much
the same as the ruling Perugia. The Strategical position of deruta
has favoured commerce, especially that of ceramics made here
in large quantities since Antiquity. Only in 1465 did deruta obtain its
legislative independence from the dominating city, Perugia. during those
years Pietro Vannucci called "Il Perugino", painted the fresco in the
church of Sain Francis represeting St. Rocco and St. Romano. From
a the middle of the sixteenth century deruta benefited from a long period
of rather balanced social and economic peace. At the beginning
of the 19° century deruta chose Napoleonic politics by reorganising
its administration. The restoration of the Pontifical governement in 1814
was welcomed by the citizens until the Unification of Italy.
In 1872, an exibition-competition of the local manufacturers was
the first step fowards the modernisation and the extension of Ceramic
puction, still the principal resource of Deruta today.
