History

The first mention of Sant’Oreste is made by Benedict of Soratte (Benedetto del Soratte) in his "Chronicon" in 747 AD, in which he mentions "Curtis Sancii Heristi". [ [http://www.santoreste.it/storia.html Comune di Sant'Oreste ] ] One source states that the toponym derives from the family of the Aristi or Edisti. A member of this family, Saint Orestes (Edistus, Sant'Edisto, Sant'Oreste) was martyred for his faith around 68 AD. Linguistic corruptions transformed the name from "Sanctus Edistus" to "Sanctus Heristus, Santo Resto, San Tresto, Sant'Oreste". [ [http://www.santoreste.it/storia.html Comune di Sant'Oreste ] ]
