Attigliano

Attigliano is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Terni in the Italian region Umbria.

Attigliano is located about 70 km south of Perugia and about 30 km west of Terni. It has the lowest elevation of any municipality located in Umbria.

According to local tradition, the name Attigliano derives from the presence of numerous linden trees in the area, from the Latin ad tiliam.

Attigliano originated as a commune between the 11th and 12th centuries. The castle of Attigliano is first documented in 1130, when it was under the lordship of Bonconte of Alviano. During the 12th and 13th centuries it came under the control of several noble families, including the Borghese and the Orsini, though it was predominantly associated with the Alviano [it] (or Liviani) family of Todi. In the 13th century the Alviano consolidated their power, becoming lords of Attigliano. During the period of Alviano's dominion, the community possessed its own statutes.

In 1527 Attigliano was devastated by a force of approximately 4,000 men led by the bandit Fabrizio Maramaldo, operating alongside the Landsknechts during the conflicts that affected central Italy in the early 16th century. In 1531 the territory passed by dowry to the Monaldeschi della Cervara family.

In 1654 the territory was acquired by Olimpia Pamphili. Over the course of the 17th century, the castles of the region, including Attigliano, came under the direct authority of the Papal Government.

In 1701, Attigliano was a feudal domain of the Prince Pamphilj, a status which it is recorded as retaining in 1803 under the Prince Doria Pamphilj. By 22 November 1816, ownership is recorded under Duke Don Giulio Lante.

Between 1809 and 1814, during the Napoleonic era, Attigliano formed part of the Department of Trasimeno in the District of Todi. Following the Restoration in 1816, it was designated a baronial place within the Delegation of Spoleto. From 1817 to 1827 it functioned as an appodiato of Giove under the governor of Amelia.
