history

In the medieval sources, the main town was called Castrum Olnani , the village of the elms or wild ash . The current name comes from the Italian words serra (mountain range) and valle (valley). The place was first documented on August 15, 962 in a writing by Otto I as Serravallum . Serravalle was a fortified outpost of the Malatesta in the Middle Ages and was incorporated into the Republic of San Marino in 1463 as one of the last territorial expansions. The central square in the main town of Serravalle is dedicated to Giuseppe Bertoldi , a scholar who was born here around 1355 and who studied the masterpieces of Dante Alighieri in detail. The district of Rovereta is also known for the controversial events of September 30, 1957, when a coup attempt against the then left-wing government in San Marino was carried out by representatives of the opposition (see clashes of Rovereta ).
