Historical Background: The village is situated on a hill over the Aventino Valley. The origins of this commune dates back to the Middle Ages , witnessed by the presence of the typical “vicoli” (medieval alleys) we can still admire today. Altino was mentioned for the first time in some documents dating back to the 12th century. Of medieval origins, it belonged to the De Anchino who ruled until 1534, when probably because of the end of the dynasty it was given to Diego De Moccicao.
