Rakish Rivello -5
the origins of the village of Rivello Reviell (in dialect lucano) are dated back to the Early Middle Ages. But many are the archaeological finds which designate Rivello is the heir of the city lucana - existing from preromano period - Sirinos. The notorious is the division, starting from the middle ages, the city into two distinct neighborhoods, the upper one, whose inhabitants, said bardàv ti, were tied one to the church of the Latin rite (San Nicola di Bari) and the lower one, whose inhabitants, bardàsci, were supporters of the parish of the Greek rite (Santa Maria del Poggio).
Resist still in the toponymy ("Fonte dei Lombardi" and "Piazza dei Greci"), references to the two opposing ethnic groups, who gave life to the city: Lombards, stanziatisi certainly as a result of the barbarian invasions, and Greeks, probably originating, following its destruction by the Saracens, from nearby Velia from which it says the name derives modern (Rivello i.e. Re-Velia). Indeed, the motto of the common recitation even today "Iterum Velia renovata Revellum" (Once Velia, renewed in Rivello). Another likely etymological origin of the name, must be sought in a formation of the iterative type "King Vallare" i.e. fortify again, from which a late Latin Revallo.
