The d’Alviano family, also known as Liviani, was one of the most important noble dynasties of Umbria, whose name derives from the castle of Alviano, of which they were feudal lords since the Middle Ages. The origins of the lineage date back to Count Offredo, who in the 10th century obtained the imperial investiture and built the first fortress on a hill overlooking the Tiber valley. Over the centuries, the family consolidated its power over Alviano and other fiefdoms, such as Riofreddo, becoming a protagonist of the political and military events of the region. The maximum splendor of the lineage was reached with Bartolomeo d’Alviano (1455-1515), a famous Renaissance leader, captain of fortune and military engineer. Bartolomeo was the protagonist of important battles in the service of various Italian and European states, including the victory on the Garigliano for Spain, the defense of Bracciano for the Orsini, and participation in the battle of Marignano for France and Venice. In addition to his military exploits, he was also responsible for the radical renovation of the castle of Alviano, transforming it into a refined Renaissance fortified residence. The d'Alviano family died out in 1537 with the death of Livio Attilio, son of Bartolomeo, and the fiefdom passed in the following decades to important families such as the Cesi, the Farnese and finally the Pamphili. The castle of Alviano, today the seat of the town hall and museums, remains a symbol of the power and prestige of this family, which was able to intertwine its history with that of the great Italian dynasties and the crucial events of Renaissance Italy.

"Macchie, a hamlet of the municipality of Amelia in Umbria, still preserves some traces of its medieval past, including a city gate of the ancient castle. This gate is part of the remains of the ancient fortifications of Macchie, once known as Castrum Machiae. Together with the walls and a tower, the gate is a testimony to the defensive structure of the village in the medieval era. The city gate of Macchie probably dates back to the period in which the castle was a possession of Amelia. City gates in general were access structures inserted into the walls of cities, often characterized by decorative and defensive elements. They served both as a monumental entrance and as a traffic and security control point. Although no detailed information is provided, the gate of Macchie represents an important element of the historical-architectural heritage of this small Umbrian hilltop village, testifying to its past as a fortified settlement".

Stunning village, departure and arrival of the Silent Villages path.

Fascinating place, full of history

Tuscolano is also worth a visit.

Delightful medieval hamlet perched on the slopes of Monte Rotondo, surrounded by chestnut woods. The town is divided in two by a characteristic staircase that crosses it from top to bottom.

Toscolano is a medieval village made up of narrow streets overlooking the hills and mountains of Umbria.
