Orsigna developed around its square (where all of the itineraries here described start from) erected by Scipione de’Ricci, in order to let come together all of the several neighborhoods (Il Casino, Casa Sandrella, Case Colonna, Le Volte, Lavacchini, Paoluccio, Case Fanfani, Quadrano e Casa Gavazzi, Casa Fagnoni,Case Corrieri, La Menta,Case Ferrari, Il Contadino, Casa Botto) often named after surnames of families that had lived there
Its name comes possibly from the presence of the Bears (at the beginning of XII cent) or else by possessions that a noble family (Orsini) would have up to there
