In order to get to know the language`s origins we will have to go back a few centuries in history.

Al  Plan - San Vigilio di Marebbe - History
First settlements in the Marebbe Valley date back to the first venice-illiric origins.
In aprox. 15 B.C. the Romans began to subjugate thr Rhaeto population, the inhabitants of the valley began to adorn  roman costumes and the roman language, of which, at a later stage, elements of the vulgar Latin language prevailed.
This language is also spoken in the valleys of the Dolomites, in Friuli and in Engadine and has practically remained unchanged.
This is where the name "Rheato Romans"originates from. It is the name given  to the population who still use and speak this language. At the beginning of the 15thtCentury, the valley passed under hegemony of the Earls of Tyrol. S. Vigilio was declared as the jurisdictional court for the valleys of Marebbe di Badia.
