The village of Rigatti has medieval origins, having probably been built in the 12th century. Its history is closely linked to the parish church of Santa Maria in Rivogatti, dating back to 1153, around which the settlement developed. Over the centuries, Rigatti has been part of various domains: • Papal State • Kingdom of Naples (in some periods) • Fiefdom of the Mareri family for a long time. The village has had a strategic role, with its castle in visual communication with other military structures in the area, such as the castles of Girgenti and Marcetelli. the baronial palace of Rigatti, originally a medieval castle from the 12th century, was transformed into a noble residence during the Renaissance. It has a characteristic trapezoidal shape and a central keep tower, today it is the Caprioli house and houses a painting depicting the Mareri family coat of arms.
