 The Roman town of Forum Flaminii, corresponding with modern San Giovanni Profiamma, was founded by Roman censor Gaius Flaminius in 220 BCE during the construction of the Roman consular road.The town is attested as bishopric since the third century and believed to have been destroyed in 740 by the invading Lombards under King Liutprand, and subsequently incorporated into Foligno.It remains unknown how much of the relatively old vita of the legendary first bishop and patron saint Felician of Foligno is historically accurate.
