The place name "Stavropigio" refers to a Stavropigio monastery, which existed in the area during Byzantine times. Before the Revolution of 1821, Ampliani was the largest settlement in Evrytania after Karpenisi. During the Occupation, the inhabitants of the village actively participated in the Resistance, paying the corresponding consequences, as the Germans burned the village. Its population, according to the 2011 census, is 13 residents, of whom the permanent residents during the winter season are even fewer. Ampliani is known for its woven fabrics and the traditional costumes of its women.
Notable is the traditional dance "Stegos", which is danced in the homonymous location of the village on the eve of the festival of Agia Paraskevi (July 26). Also worth seeing are the churches located in and around Ampliani, the most important of which are Agia Paraskevi (1867), Agios Nikolaos, Agia Sotira (in the cemetery), Agios Ioannis and the prophet Elias.
