A city with its own government, located among the mountains facing the Corno river, that pouring in between narrow rocks ends flowing into the Serravalle canyons, (...) the nowadays Cascia saw frequent arguments and bloody fights with the people from Norcia and Spoleto. Those grew the most in the XV century, and the city witnessed the cures by Niccolò V to put them out and by Paolo II who built the Cascia fortress, with the Monte Leone and Todi ones, to restrain the discords of those citizens. Gaetano Moroni Romano, 1854
Città con governo, posta fra i monti in riva al fiume Corno, che scorrendo sempre in mezzo ad angusti scogli va a sboccare per le gole di Serravalle, (…) l’odierna Cascia fu soggetta a frequenti dispute ed a sanguinose risse co’ norciani e spoletini, massime nel secolo XV, colle cure di Nicolò V per estinguerle, e di Paolo II che fabbricò la fortezza di Cascia, non che di Monte Leone e Todi per tenere in freno le discordie di que’ cittadini.
