The numerous archaeological remains which were unearthed in Marsciano (that are now cherished by the National Museum of Umbria) bear witness to the fact this city has been inhabited by different populations (such as the Etruscans) since the Bronze Age. In the Middle Ages, the city achieved the utmost splendour, thanks to the support of powerful families, such as Counts Bulgarelli of Marsciano and Vibi of Monte Vibiano. Marsciano's architecture still retains numerous elements which date back to that historical period, such as the huge brick buildings which contributed to make Marsciano famous as the City of Brick.
