MONTIANO
HYSTORY
In 895 the Longobard countess
Ingelrada gave the village to the Archbishop of Ravenna. For several centuries the city was disputed between
Ordelaffi and Malatesta families as long as, in 1570, Pope Pius V gave it to the
Malatesta of Roncofreddo, who built the imposing quadrilateral fortress;
Montiano was full of olive trees, vineyards and delicious fruits like a charming garden.
Today, it is a warm and welcoming town of lively economic life, based on agriculture and wine production.
