Monte Castello di Vibio owes its name to the "gens Vibia", one of the most
famous families which during the period of maximum splendour of the Republican
and Imperial Rome created the "splendidissima colonia" (wonderful colony) of
"fida Tuder" along the Tiber and Naia Rivers's valleys. However, it is likely
that Montecastello had already existed several centuries before this date, as a
settlement of the native populations in that fertile and strategically important
Tiber Valley that the town dominates and controls.
Then came the tormented years, or even better centuries of conflict with nearby
Todi, which conquered and lost Montecastello several times. It was in those
times that the particularly proud character of the inhabitants of Monte Castello di Vibio
showed itself to the point that nearby Todi, even more powerful, was obliged to
ban Montecastello with a ban from any kind of trade, in order to tame its spirit
of independence.
Under Napoleon, Montecastello di Vibio lived a period of redemption and of great
splendour since it became the ruler of a vast territory near Orvieto. Influenced
by new ideas, the community opened to new initiatives, among which the most
supported was the one that gave birth to the "Teatro della Concordia" between
1807 and 1808. When this lovely building was started, thanks to the support and
funding of nine local families, it was decided that even its name should be a
memory of the principles of brotherwood and friendship which had animated the
French spirit of the Revolution and the Italian Jacobinism.
The theatre, the smallest one in the world and a rare example of harmony and
skill as far as the design of the scenic spaces and facilities for actors are
concerned, can still be admired after being restored. An initiative that gave it
back to the public and artists's delight. It has only two series of boxes and no
more than 30 stalls in the auditorium.
