History...

According to a legend, the town is on the place where there was a fortified village in the past, founded by the ancient Italic population Morgeti. Then, there was a small Roman colony, as ruins of Rumanuru area testify.
The modern town was founded around VIII century a.C. thanks to a group of Greek monks escaped from iconoclastic persecutions. The monks kept the Sacred Icon of Saint Demetrius, today kept in the homonymous sanctuary.
During Angevin domination, the hamlet was fortified and then many families ruled the town.
In XIV century Morigerati passed to Sanseverino family, like the other surrounding towns.
