Orvin
Marcus Terentius Varro, speaking of the city into the hands of the Aborigines, also names a " Orvinium " and commends For its breadth and nobility even when they saw you the fundamentals of its walls, the tombs of ancient building with their pens on the heights of the hills, and a very ancient temple of Minerva in the citadel ... ". But the " Orvinium " Varro's not one we intend to speak. The ancient " Orvinium " or Corvino was for most people, identified in the area of \u200b\u200btoday's Corvaro, region of Cicoli, and Martelli has taken the right to increase the number of its cities, of Sicilian origin . Some
writer, however, including Mattei, who clings to the fact that Canemorto in some maps, is called Orvinio , and the same Sperandio, do not hesitate to see " Orvinium " on Canemorto , ie, in the resort of today Orvinio (The Guattani speaks of headstones and Sabido Corbino now called Corbaro and to better explain himself, says, "the birthplace of the famous anti-pope Nicholas V". So, too, admits that the old Orvinium was not in the place of today.)
The Chaupy, in turn, would place "Orvinium" Moricone where today is based on the fact that in that location, there are remains of some importance.
But this is not a plausible proof.
Orvinio today, stands imperiously on a pleasant hill, about 840 meters above sea level. It can be reached through the beautiful which deviates from the Salaria, right at the junction of Orvinio ; capital is 48 kilometers from Rieti
Until 1860 was named Canemorto , has since taken the name of Orvinio . It seems that
Canemorto was one of the centers in fatal tremendous fight against the Saracens. They would have suffered a great defeat there by the troops of Charlemagne.
In a historical review of 1842, it is said that after this massacre, the village would take "the name of Canimorti , placing the old Orvinio . "The Blond illustrating an ancient inscription found on the mountain of" Demon Stone says that in the Middle Ages, the territory was called " Malasorte . Indeed, various acts of Farfa SUMMARY speak of lands
