Oriolo dei Fichi is a small inhabited center located on the first foothills of the Romagna Apennines: about ten kilometers south-east of Faenza with an altitude of 141m above sea level.
The surrounding area, scattered with ancient farmhouses, is mainly cultivated with vines and arable land that alternate with wooded slopes.

The first evidence of the place comes from the distant 898 AD. when a certain Aghinolfo was a lord.
In 1017, the Emperor Henry II assigned it to Arnaldo II, Archbishop of Ravenna.
Forty years later, it was the latter who built a castle that, throughout the Middle Ages, was disputed between the lords of Faenza, Forlì and the Ravenna Church, its legitimate owner.

Starting from 1300 and up to 1689, Oriolo enjoyed the status of a Rural Municipality: while remaining under the control of those who owned the castle, it meant being endowed with a certain administrative autonomy.
At the time, the territory of the Municipality of Oriolo had an approximate area of 5-6 sq km and included three parishes.

The population numbered about 500 people who subsequently decreased to the current 200.
From those ancient times, the fifteenth-century tower remains today: perched on top of a slope and surrounded by a small park owned by the municipality of Faenza.
