It appears that the fortified mountaintop village of Montone was destroyed in a punitive attack ordered by Pope Sixtus IV to punish Carlo<\/em>, son of Braccio. <\/em>\u00a0Only the tower remains today. The town was replaced in later centuries by the St. Catherine Benedictine convent as a statement of the power and position that the Church retained in opposition to the Fortebracci<\/em> family.
