History

Historians date the first inhabited settlements in the area to the Roman period.

An indelible trace of the Roman presence is represented by the discovery in 1948 of an epigraph dating back to the first century AD.

The development of the town is affirmed centuries later, more precisely in the Middle Ages.

Revigliasco then passes, around the first century of the year 1000, among the territories governed by the municipality of Asti.

In the 14th century, the Roero family of Revigliasco established itself, whose power over the territory was not lost until the 19th century.

The history of Revigliasco d'Asti recalls, then, the rule of the Visconti, the Dukes of Orleans and the Savoy up to the Kingdom of Italy.
