The town’s origins begin in the 10th century, as revealed in an old certificate dated 994, which testifies the presence of a monastery named after S. Magno. The monastery was founded by  oriental monks and then passed on to the Benedictines, who are claimed to have colonised the region introducing an agricultural contract which was very beneficial to the farmers.
