The History of Ripaberarda

The name "Ripaberarda" seems to have been given by the sum of the noun "Ripa" and an unknown "Berardo". It is not known well the origin of this village, but some scholars trace its birth to remote epochs, even to the 9th century BC, by Pelasgian populations coming from the Adriatic area. However, the most likely version seems to be that the name derives from "trivium" or "troia", which means intersection of three roads.
