 Its origins date back to the 14th century, somewhere between 1350 and 1400 when a number of scattered populations of the area joined together into a village proper, mainly for defense purpose.The town is composed of two distinct sections, the "Colle di qua" facing north, and the "Colle di la'" facing west, probably two distinct settlements each headed by a leading strong family.The town church, built oh a high point between the two sections was founded in 1357 and renovated in 1521.
