This is an ancient Umbrian town which was densely populated even in the epoch of
Ancient Rome; its most ancient section dates back to the 4th century of the
Vulgar Era. Its name derives from that of a Roman soldier who was martyrised
here in the year 303 for his Christianity. Located between the two extreme
points of the village of San Sepolcro and Città di Castello, the ancient
Melisciano - San Giustino, "Castrum" in the Roman epoch, was in a strategic
position which was desirable although also dangerous for its autonomy.
The ancient history of the town, when it was a feud of, first, the Dotti family
and then of the Bufalini family is testified to by the Bufalini Castle, erected
in 1492. The building, subsequently transformed into a magnificent villa by
Vasari, inside preserves grotesque decorations attributed to Cristoforo Gherardi
and outside has a garden with a maze. It is possible to admire paintings of
great charm such as the "Madonna col Bambino e Santi" (Madonna with Child and
Saints) by Signorelli, a "Madonna" by Andrea del Sarto and other works by Guido
Reni. San Giustino today has a modern appearance and the principle activities
here are agriculture, the iron-founding industry and alimentary production.
