History & geography

History

The settlement of Arrone originated in 880, when a Roman in exile named Arrone is said to have founded a castle there. From the 9th to the 11th century the Arroni family expanded their power, extending control over surrounding castles. Submission to Spoleto followed in 1229, when Arrone swore an oath of loyalty. Relations with Spoleto were marked by repeated clashes between the 12th and 14th centuries, alternating with periods of enforced peace. The Arroni family disappeared from the records in 1341, having relocated to Spoleto, after which Arrone passed fully under the authority of the Spoletan community during the 14th century. Municipal statutes were drafted in 1347 and later renewed in 1542. During the 16th century Arrone remained subject to the Papal States through the authority of Spoleto. Local history in the 17th and 18th centuries was largely tied to that of the surrounding district, with minor disputes over taxation with Spoleto. In 1799 the town was sacked by French forces for having aided insurgents. During the Napoleonic period Arrone was included in the Department of Trasimeno, within the district of Spoleto and the canton of Terni. The Restoration brought a return to the pre-Napoleonic administrative system. The events of the Roman Republic had limited impact locally, with a provisional municipal commission operating between 1849 and the 1850s. In 1860 Arrone voted unanimously for annexation to the Kingdom of Sardinia. In 1895 Arrone had a population of 2,202 inhabitants.

Geography

Arrone is located in the Valnerina, about from Terni. Its territory is mountainous and largely covered with woodland. The town lies in a gently sloping valley in a relatively temperate climate, where winds from the east and west prevail. The river Nera flows nearby, passing close to the walls of the castle and crossed by a masonry bridge. The municipality includes the localities of Arrone, Buonacquisto, Casteldilago, Castiglioni, Colle Alvano, Colle Sant'Angelo, Palombare, Rosciano, Vallecupa, Vallefredda, Valleludra. In 2021, 299 people lived in rural dispersed dwellings not assigned to any named locality. At the time, the most populous localities were Arrone proper (1,349), and Casteldilago (441).
