It is 30 km by road north-west from Aleria and significantly less in a direct line and 16 km south-west of Moïta in the Valley of the Cursigliese. Access is by the D116 road from Tallone in the south-east which continues north of the village north-west to Zuani. Ampriani is a small village of a single row of houses with a watchtower aligned on a ridge at an altitude of about 600 metres (lowest point 320 m, highest point: 749 m) overlooking the valley and almost the entire plain. The village is nearly deserted in winter, but has about a hundred people in summer. The road leading to the village is a dead end and ends on the old "helicopter pad". The terrain in the commune is rugged and heavily forested.[3] ### Neighbouring communes and villages Places adjacent to Ampriani Zuani Zalana Ampriani Piedicorte-di-Gaggio Pancheraccia Tallone [3] ## History ### Middle Ages In the 16th century Ampriani was part of the *Pieve di a Serra* with two other villages which are in the current commune of [Zuani](/source/Zuani). Around 1520 the three villages making up the Pieve were called: - Alpriano for Ampriani; - Cuiani for [Zuani](/source/Zuani); - La Valle di Sagano. ### From the 18th century to today Before the 18th century Ampriani was still part of the *Pieve di a Serra* but to the three villages in 1520 were added the villages of: - Moitta ([Moïta](/source/Mo%C3%AFta)); - Mattra ([Matra](/source/Matra%2C_Haute-Corse)); - [Pianello](/source/Pianello); - Zallana ([Zalana](/source/Zalana)). The three original villages, meanwhile, had become: - Ampriani; - Zuvani ([Zuani](/source/Zuani)); - La Valle di Sagano had disappeared. In 1790, with the [French Revolution](/source/French_Revolution) the [Pieves](/source/Pieve) became [cantons](/source/Cantons). The *Pieve di a Serra* became the Canton of Serra, before taking the name Canton of Moïta in 1830. In 1954 the communes of [Aléria](/source/Al%C3%A9ria), Ampriani, [Matra](/source/Matra%2C_Haute-Corse), [Moïta](/source/Mo%C3%AFta), [Pianello](/source/Pianello), [Tallone](/source/Tallone), [Zalana](/source/Zalana), and [Zuani](/source/Zuani) formed the Canton of Moïta. Between 1971 and 1973, the two cantons of Moïta and Pietra di Verde were merged. They form the current Canton of Moita Verde. Today the Canton of Moita Verde is composed of fourteen communes. These are the six communes in the Canton of Pietra: [Canale-di-Verde](/source/Canale-di-Verde), [Linguizzetta](/source/Linguizzetta), [Tox](/source/Tox%2C_Haute-Corse), [Campi](/source/Campi%2C_Haute-Corse), [A Petra](/source/Pietra-di-Verde), and [Chiatra](/source/Chiatra) (to which can be added the two hamlets of Monticchio and Ersagie, which now belong respectively to the communes of [Pietra-di-Verde](/source/Pietra-di-Verde) and [Chiatra](/source/Chiatra) and the second to U Monte). To these are added the eight communes of the Canton of Moïta to create the Canton of Moïta-Verde.[4] ## Administration This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items.
