History[edit | edit source]

Classical antiquity[edit | edit source]

In 361 BCE, Tivoli, then known as Tibur, was one of the villages that allied itself with the marauding Gauls, remaining peaceful for 23 years. The village was eventually absorbed into Rome after the Gauls were defeated. In 90 BCE, the city received official Roman citizenship, becoming a popular resort destination for the Roman elite due to its beauty and superb water.[1]

Renaissance[edit | edit source]

By the Renaissance, the city had become known for its open-air travertine mines. Stones were often excavated to build the palaces and courtyards of Rome. Rumours soon emerge of a treasure buried in one of the mines, although treasure hunters were unable to locate it.[1]

In 1461, Pope Pius II attempted to build the Rocca Pia in the city to control its population, which often rioted against papal authority.[1]

In 1503, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze visited the aqueducts of Tivoli to assassinate a Papal Guard, who had been forcing local civilians to repair the aqueducts, and to retrieve a hidden treasure from the Templars.[2]
