== History == Its name probably comes from Campo di Giano. The first appearance of the village in the historical record dates to 1240, where it is mentioned as the castle of the former podestà of Florence Andrea did Giacomo, with Perugia as his and its overlord. The village was sacked by the troops of Henry VII, Holy Roman Emperor in 1312. In 1361 it tried to secede from the signoria of Perugia but in 1398 the castle was returned to Perugian control, passing to count Federico di Bernardino di Marsciano (also subject to Perugia) in 1440.
