After Novello’s death (1465), Cesena returned to the Papal States, but was again seized by a local seignor, Cesare Borgia, in 1500. The city was elevated to capital of his powerful though short-lived duchy.
Cesena subsequently turned into a secondary city of the Papal States. In the 18th and 19th centuries Pope Pius VI and Pope Pius VII were born in the city, which also had Pope Pius VIII as bishop, gaining the title of “city of the three popes”. During the
Napoleonic Wars it was stripped of numerous monasteries and churches. Some of its citizens had notable roles in the
unification of Italy , in the second half of the 19th century.
