 The political and economic influence of the minor brothers in the life of the city from the fifteenth century should not be forgotten, so as to favor Stroncone as in the main centers of Umbria, the birth of a mountain of Pietà (1466) and of a Monte Frumentario (1489) with the aim of combating illicit and immoral economic activities.In the sixteenth century the land was ruled by the cardinals of the Sacred College through the office of the podestà, while by the end of the sixteenth century, with the administrative reform of the papal state introduced by Sisto V, the center was submitted directly to the Apostolic Chamber, from the pontiff himself and was governed by a resident apostolic commissioner.For this reason, as in other centers of the papal state (see the case of Rieti and Terni), beside the aisle palace, the headquarters of the local government, was built the apostolic palace, the peripheral seat of the central government, with the residence of the governor and the annexed jails, an expression of the judicial power that the governor exemplified.
