RE: Rule 24f-2 Notice
Ladies & Gentlemen:
In connection with the filing by Allmerica Investment Trust
(the "Trust") of a Notice (the "Notice") pursuant to Rule
24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "1940 Act"), for the Trust's fiscal year ended December
31, 1996, you have requested that I provide the legal
opinion required by said Rule.
In accordance with Rule 24f-2, the Trust has registered an
indefinite number of shares of beneficial interest, with a
par value of $.001, under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"). The purpose of the Notice is to
make definite the registration of 602,315,615 shares (the
"Shares") of the Trust as sold in reliance upon the Rule
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
I am Counsel of First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.,
the Trust's Administrator, and in such capacity, from time
to time and for certain purposes, provide legal counsel to
the Trust. I have examined copies of the Trust's Agreement
and Declaration of Trust, as amended, votes adopted by its
Trustees, and such other records and documents as I have
deemed necessary for purpose of this opinion.
On the basis of the foregoing, and assuming all of the
Shares were sold in accordance with the terms of the Trust's
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information in effect
at the time of sale, I am of the opinion that the Shares
were legally issued, fully paid, and non-assessable by the
Trust. This opinion is for the limited purposes expressed
above and should not be deemed to be an expression of
opinion as to compliance with the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act, or
applicable state "blue sky" or securities laws in connection
with the sales of the Shares.

The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a
"Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law,
shareholders could be held personally liable for the
obligations of the Trust under certain circumstances.
However, the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as
amended, provides that if any shareholder of the Trust is
held personally liable solely by reason of being or having
been a shareholder, the shareholder shall be entitled out of
the Trust estate to be held harmless from and indemnified
against all loss and expense arising from such liability.
Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on
account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances
in which the Trust itself would be unable to meet its
obligations.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the
Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Trust's
Rule 24f-2 Notice.
Very truly yours,
Gail A. Hanson
Counsel
CERTIFICATE
The undersigned, the Treasurer of ALLMERICA INVESTMENT
TRUST (the "Trust"), hereby certifies that the Trust has
received full payment in accordance with the provisions of
its Prospectus for all shares, the sales of which are
reported in the Trust's Rule 24f-2 Notice covering the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 and that the facts
otherwise stated in such Notice are true.
