Sismano or Sosmano was described, in the 1322 historic archive of Todi, as a castle of "twenty one fires" and was considered one of the many fortresses that guarded the city of Todi. In 1254 Sismano endured large damage due to the harsh battles between Guelfi and Ghibellini, and the feuds between Todi, Florence, Narni and Spoleto. Between 1281 and 1294, the Cardinal Benedetto Caetani spent long periods of time in Todi trying to pacify the disputes between the party of the guelfe cities of Todi, Perugia and Spello and that of the ghibellina city of Foligno. In 1289, through the Florentine merchant Mainetto di Rinaldo dei Pulci, the Caetani Cardinal had the opportunity to buy the castle of Sismano for 8,500 gold florins. The Cardinal was able to visit Sismano on a regular basis during the periods of suspension of the Conclave of Perugia in which, on the 5th of July 1294, Pietro del Morrone with the name Celestino V was made Pope. However, he abdicated the 13th of December of the same year, during the gathering of the Concistoro in Naples. Nine days later, the Cardinal Benedetto Caetani became Pope with the name of Bonifacio VIII. Still today on the sides of the arch, found inside the Borgo, it is possible to admire the two coat of arms of the Caetani family that represent two oblique waves on a shield. The Comune of Todi had jurisdiction on Sismano until he 1st of December 1383 when the Pope Urbano VI conceded it to the Atti family who owned it in alternated phases until the end of the 1500: as a matter of fact, in 1406 the nobleman Giacomo Guglielmi resided in the castle, followed by Matteo Chiaravalle in 1462 who occupied Sismano unlawfully. Eventually it was returned to Ludovico Atti. The coat of arms of the Atti family is located in the middle of the same arch that displays the coat of arms of the family of Bonifacio VIII on its sides. The properties of the Atti family were confiscated by the Pope in the second half of the XVI century due to the massacre commanded by them at the near by castle of Casigliano to damage the Cesi family. The 10th of April 1607, Bartolomeo Corsini bought the estate of Sismano, which, still today, is owned by a heir of the same family.

Percorrendo la via Chiantigiana in località Ugolino subito dopo il Golf Club Ugolino, ci appare un lungo viale che conduce in cima al poggio dove è situata l'imponente villa a cui fu dato il nome di Villa I Cipressi proprio in onore di questi alberi così forti e così fieri che circondano tutta la collina. Nel 1939 il Professor Carlo Arcangeli progettò ed edificò la villa che andava con le sue fondamenta ad appoggiarsi sopra una cava di pietra. Il Professor Arcangeli cercò, con lo stile, di rimanere il più fedele possibile a quello che era ed è lo stile classico delle tenute toscane. La villa all'interno si presenta finemente arredata e la sensazione è quella di grande familiarità , questo principalmente merito della Signora Monica figlia del Professor Arcangeli che, ereditata la casa insieme a suo marito Alessandro, hanno cercato di creare un ambiente confortevole, dando a i loro ospiti camere la cui vista si affaccia sull'immensa vallata, camere con ogni comfort e un'ottima cucina sia tipicamente toscana che internazionale, preparata amabilmente dalla signora Monica per far riscoprire ai suoi ospiti il piacere ormai dimenticato degli antichi sapori, e per finire una splendida piscina all'aperto per godere di un piacevole bagno rinfrescante nelle giornate estive. La zona dove è situata Villa I Cipressi ha delle caratteristiche climatiche molto piacevoli; il clima temperato e la natura rigogliosa creano delle sensazioni veramente uniche. Gli ambienti della villa, dal punto di vista architettonico, sono un bellissimo esempio dell'arte Toscana nelle costruzioni. L'uso del legno negli arredi e nella struttura della costruzione creano un ambiente molto caldo e confortevole, ideale per un soggiorno riposante e rilassante. Questo, misto alla familiarità degli arredi e alla simpatia dei gestori, è garanzia di giornate interessanti e spensierate. Una buona vacanza, da sempre, è sinonimo di una buona cucina. A Villa I Cipressi abbiamo pensato bene di rendere ogni pasto una scoperta sempre nuova della genuina e gustosa cucina Toscana. I deliziosi piatti cucinati sapientemente dalle abili mani della Signora Monica saranno innaffiati dai vini migliori della zona. Con una vacanza da noi avrete la fortuna di assaporare un vino chianti squisito e di conoscere a pieno la bontà della cucina Toscana. La stupenda terrazza della villa, testimone di meravigliose albe e intensi tramonti, saprà sicuramente emozionarvi per la bellezza del paesaggio circostante. Nei dintorni natura, arte, cultura si mostreranno a voi nel loro splendore; in ogni centro abitato, ogni chiesa ogni bosco e durante le feste e le sagre avrete modo di apprezzare la fantastica gente che abita queste zone.
