3rd century BC
The first written testimony relating to the territory of Soriano comes from Tito Livio, who in his ab Urbe condita Historia, narrates that in 443 BC Soriano it was invaded by the Roman militias commanded by the consul Quintus Fabio Massimo Rulliano; these, in the war against the Etruscans, managed to cross the impenetrable forest" that covered Mount Cimino and from the summit contemplated the expanse of fertile fields below populated and cultivated by the Etruscans, whom he defeated with ease[7].

At the end of 3rd century AD the local populations were evangelized by Saint Eutizio of Ferento. After his martyrdom during the persecution by Diocletian, around 303 - 305 AD, the saint was buried in a catacomb near Soriano.

Between 6th and 8th centuries
Between the end of the 6th century and the beginning of the 8th, the Soriano territory was most likely the object of raids by the Lombards and the territory of Soriano was donated to the papacy by the Lombard king Liutprand, together with those of Sutri, Gallese, Blera, Bomarzo and Orte[7].

Between the 8th and 13th centuries
Between the 8th and 13th centuries, much of the Sorianese territory first belonged to the Benedictine monks of the Abbey of Sant'Andrea in flumine (near Monte Soratte) then to those of the monastery of S. Silvestro in Capite of Rome and finally to those of the convent of San Lorenzo outside the walls of Rome.

13th century
Throughout the Middle Ages in the Sorianese territory the number of rural villages, mainly of modest size and composed of a few houses gathered around small castles. But from the mid-13th century the village of Soriano began to take on considerable importance, built on a hill around the fortress-tower of the Guastapane and Pandolfo family, probably a branch of the Porcari family of Rome[10].

In 1250, the Guastapane family , siding with the Guelphs, welcomed Rosa da Viterbo to Soriano, a teenager exiled with her entire family from Viterbo by will of Frederick II, of the Ghibelline faction. In 1278 the Guastapane-Pandolfo family were accused of heresy and the barony of Soriano was taken away from them, entrusted to Orso Orsini, nephew of Pope Nicholas III. This, since 1277, had undertaken the construction of a castle, around the tower-palace of the Guastapane-Pandolfo; and Nicholas III himself lived in the fortress of Soriano in the summers of 1279 and 1280 and died here in the autumn of 1280.

The Orsini maintained the Soriano fiefdom until 1366, when, under the pontificate of Urban V, they sold it to the Saint Site.
