History
Thanks to some artifacts that have been found on the township's land it is known that it hosted a Roman settlement primarily of a military nature. The artifacts have appeared over the years, without any systematic archaeological dig. More recently, organized excavations have found traces of human settlement that may go as far back as the Mesolithic Age. The area grew in importance starting in the Middle Ages, no doubt the result of its physical location.
Today only the town hall and some elements of the municipal church such as the baptismal font and the baroque altar attest to a past with artistic or historical interest.
