Cospaia is an Italian hamlet (frazione) of the comune of San Giustino in the Province of Perugia, Umbria.
History
[edit | edit source]The village became accidentally independent in 1440. When Pope Eugene IV ceded the territory of Sansepolcro to the Republic of Florence, by mistake a small strip of land was excluded from the treaty that delimited the borders. Having become no one's land, the inhabitants promptly declared independence. As a result, the village was the Republic of Cospaia for some 385 years, but in 1826 it was absorbed into the Papal States by agreement with the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
Geography
[edit | edit source]Cospaia is located in the northern suburbs of San Giustino, by a lake and next to the borders of Umbria with Tuscany. It is 3 km from Sansepolcro (in the Province of Arezzo), 15 from Città di Castello, 42 from Arezzo and 67 from Perugia.
