From the sloping castle set at the top of a rock, Scheggino develops downstream to the village that runs alongside the river, merging into a single complex.

n. 3274 of 20/03/2003[4] and in the Delibera Giunta Regionale of 18 September 2012 n. 1111,[5] which places Scheggino together with the neighbouring municipalities in zone 1, the most dangerous and with high seismic intensity.

A town of medieval origin with remains of walls and a semi-destroyed donjon from the same period, it was built in the 12th century by the Duchy of Spoleto as a defensive outpost and for this reason was attacked and sacked several times.

[7] In 1522 Scheggino was besieged by the neighbouring castles, led by Picozzo Brancaleoni and Petrone da Vallo, who took advantage of the absence of the men occupied in the fields to conquer the village, but did not succeed in their undertaking as they were repelled by the women and young people who rushed to defend their homes.

[8] From 1926 to 1968 Scheggino (together with the municipality of Sant'Anatolia di Narco) was served (through the homonymous station) by the Spoleto-Norcia railway, a narrow-gauge line connecting Spoleto with Norcia, which remained in operation from 1 November 1926 to 31 July 1968, when it was abolished.
