Casamanza is a small town near Perugia,the Capital Town of Umbria,Italy.Its name was already in use in the year 1163 and it changed slightly over the time (originally Casamansa,later Casa Mança-1258,Casamançe-1260,Casamanze-1282). It comes from the words "Casa"(house) and "Mansio"(manor),due to the presence of a two-tower house manor,still existing and today named "Il Palazzaccio", near the ancient Parish Church of S.Maria delle Croci,now a ruin.In 1571,the Parish of Casamanza was the largest Parish outside the Perugia walls,counting 300 families.
