The castle has seen several famous people, such as Petruccio de Ciuccio de Villamaina, who, in the 14th century, fell from the tower while it was under enemy attack. Later in the 19th century, the bandit Cinicchia hid and sheltered in the cellars of the castle; Cinicchia became known as the “Robin Hood of Umbria”, because he stole from the rich and gave to the poor.
Giomici Castle was passed into the hands of the Vagni family in 1650, who still own it today. They have carefully restored the castle and the nearby farm buildings, ensuring to preserve their historical and architectural features. Thanks to the Vagni, the Petruccio de Ciuccio tower was restored in 1944, along with the church, the palace and the walls surrounding the tower.
