The property overlooks the wonderful Civita di Bagnoregio called the dying city. Originally the village was dominated by a convent of monks and was inhabited by a small community of laborers and craftsmen who had settled in that area. One of the most prestigious and representative Orvieto families of that time, the MONALDESCHI della Cervara, whose coat of arms, composed of gold frets on a blue field, is frescoed in the vault of the entrance to Palazzo Monaldeschi, acquired the convent and the surrounding wooded area. The hermitage was thus transformed into a small country castle used precisely to host the owners and their court for leisure and entertainment. The Palazzo remained the property of the Monaldeschi family for 500 years and retained its original appearance until 1600. Paolo Antonio Monaldeschi, the last male heir of the family, decided to completely renovate the building. Thus he entrusted himself to the well-known architect Giovan Battista Gazale di Vignanello who redesigned it in a Baroque style. The Palazzo includes numerous rooms and outdoor spaces, such as the roof garden, to accommodate up to 300 people in the context of a splendid Baroque Historical Residence, ideal for unforgettable receptions. Just to name a few, the Sala Specchi welcomes up to 140 guests, the Sala Arazzo up to 90; the Sala Tevere, with up to 40 period canvases representing glimpses of the Teverina; finally, the Sala dei Rosoni would allow, with a reception of 50 seats, to exceed, overall, the number of 300 guests. The Palazzo also includes numerous apartments to allow its guests to stay immersed in art, in peace and relaxation.

History The place called La Commenda appears to have been inhabited already in Roman times, as can be deduced from local findings of stone, ceramic and various materials. The origin of the buildings that still exist seems to date back to 1174. The Knight Monks of the Jerusalem Order of St. John (later called the Sovereign Jerusalem Military Order of Malta) took possession of it and built a church dedicated to Saint Lucia (which is confirmed in a bull of Innocent III in 1208 ) and a Domus hospitalis, for the assistance of pilgrims traveling along the Via Francigena and the care of the sick. Starting from the 14th century, the place was assigned in trust (i.e. in commenda) to personalities of clear fame, belonging to noble families and to ecclesiastics awarded the cardinal's purple (and it is from this period that the place began to be called The Commandery). Subsequently, members of the Aldobrandini, Rospigliosi, Farnese, Orsini and Sforza families took possession of it. The period of greatest prosperity of the Commandery was the one in which it was assigned to Annibal Caro, a great scholar and poet, as well as Commander and Knight of the Order of Malta: that is, from 1555 to 1566. In 1798 La Commenda was taken over by the republican government established by Napoleon and, in 1799, it became the property of the Doria Pamphili princes, who held it until the first half of the 19th century. Over time, the Commenda complex has undergone various building expansions, the last of which dates back to 1893, as can be read in an epigraph located there. In recent times, the owners of the site have used the buildings in question as agricultural warehouses and as residences for their settlers. Until the sixties of the 20th century, a rural elementary school also functioned there, for the children of the settlers themselves.
