| The city Virgil wanted founded by mythical Dardanus, was probably a fortified Umbrian city, passed to the Etruscans between the 8th. and 7th. centuries BC.. Of these it became an important Lucumony. During the social war it was granted Roman citizenship, after which ascertainable information is lacking. Cortona flourished during the Comuni period and under the domain of the Ranieri-Casali. Sold to the Florentines by the king of Naples in 1411, it followed the destinies of the Grand-duchy of Tuscany. | ||
