History
It was the ancient Roman city of Tifernum Mataurense of which remarkable remains can be seen. The sumptuous Roman house "Domus of the Myth" was excavated from 2003,[3] a large noble house built towards the end of the 1st century AD. It has an area of approximately 1,000 m2 and 27 rooms, many embellished with a rich complex of figurative mosaics, mostly splendidly preserved.[4]
There were two periods when there was a Roman Catholic Diocese of Sant'Angelo in Vado, although the Diocese has been suppressed since 1986.
