 Between the 9th and the 6th centuries BC, a settlement of the Sabines, identified with the city of "Cures", existed here, continuing into Roman Empire times.Remains from it include the baths, a small theatre and terraces for agriculture.The origins of the modern town date from Lombard times (late 6th century AD), as it has been supposed from the presence of the Lombard word "fara" ("family clan") in the name.
