Reverto's Rise and Fall Tied to Castles and Dante Legend
The article traces Reverto's early history from Lothair defeating a fortified castle above Reverto and gifting it to a Teutonic follower. A descendant of that captain expanded the domain through a dynastic marriage with the Lizzana family. Reverto grew between two castles, fell to Venetians, then passed to Emperor Maximilian in 1517. Dante is said to have sought refuge in the Lizzana Castle during exile, inspiring a canto reference. Antonio Rosmini-Serbati, founder of the Institute of Charity, is a notable native.
