 The name Ducenta appeared in a certificate dating back to 833 of Sicardo, Prince of Benevento.But the first evidence results from the donation made by Carlo I to Guglielmo of Belmonte in which it was defined as 'Casale' and valued a little more of 42 ounces.Then, it was given to Guglielmo of Vaudemont; it later passed to Addo de Souliac and finally to Pietro Braherio in 1291.
