 Pollegio with Bodio and the mountain of Sobrio, were part of the Vicinanza of Giornico.The location at the intersection of the Three Ambrosian Rite Valleys, led to the creation, between 1210 and 1236, of a hospice for travelers known as the "Hospitale de Santa Maria in Campo Canino de Pollezio de gli Humiliati", directed by the religious order of the Humiliati.After 1326, the hospice was called a "monastery", under the direction of the Humiliati.
