The area has been inhabited since pre-historic times. During the Middle Ages the focal point of population was concentrated around the emerging centre made up of the castle, church, the parish church and court under the aegis of the powerful "della Palude" family. In 1306 it became part of the feudal lands of the Da Correggio family, remaining under their control until the 17th century.
