History[]
Summonte was founded between the tenth and eleventh centuries, centered around the old fortifications of the location. The name came from its location at the foot of Mount Partenio.[4] During the twelfth century, with the Norman conquest, it was a fiefdom under the Malerba family.[5] In the first half of the fourteenth century, the last Malerba family member died without an heir, and it was passed on to the Leonessa family.[6]
The Italian artist was born in Summonte.[7]
