📋 **𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆** 📋
Greccio was founded, according to tradition, by a Greek colony or family, who fled or exiled from their homeland following wars and destruction who fell in love with the amenity of the place and the comfort of natural defense it offered, and settled there. Hence the name Greece, Grece, Grecce and finally Greccio.

The first certain information dates back to the 10-11th century. when the fragmentary possessions of the Abbey of Farfa were reunited and the fortification of the curtis proceeded. The Benedictine monk Gregorio da Catino (1062-1133) refers to the locality of Greccio (curte de Greccia) in his work "Regesto Farfense".

From the remains of the ancient buildings it can be seen that Greccio became a fortified medieval castle surrounded by walls and protected by six fortress towers. It had to sustain fierce fights with neighboring countries and suffered destruction by the soldiers of Frederick II in 1242.

Between 1223 and 1226, Greccio hosted Francis of Assisi several times, who here recalled the representation of the Nativity scene for the first time.

The saint loved to visit these places for the beauty of the landscape, which reminded him so much of that of Palestine where he had visited, and for the simplicity of the inhabitants of the country.

The representation of the crib was the pretext to send a "political" message to Pope Honorius III, who at that time resided in nearby Rieti: *it is not necessary to reconquer the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem by means of the Crusades, because the birth of Jesus can be commemorated everywhere*

In the 14th century the town is mentioned several times in the municipal statute of Rieti and in the papers of the cathedral archives, as the seat of the podestà. It underwent ups and downs until 1799 when it was again destroyed and sacked by the Napoleonic army.

Today it's a beautiful little town, famous for its Christmas cribs (I hope to film them at Christmas too!)
