Ostellato
It may be of Roman origins (there have been numerous findings ascribable to that era), but the name Ustullatum first appeared in a papal bull issued by Gregory V in 997. The Estes had a residence here. Starting from 1598, when it came under the Papal State, it experienced an economic decline that was only reversed between 1800 and 1900 following large-scale drainage and agrarian reforms. Today green tourism has become an important element of the local economy.
