The small community has a long history. It is first got mentioned in the year 983, when it came under the Lombard family Ronaldinghis control (close to the city has, however, found ruins from Roman times). In the 12th century the city came under rule of the Republic of Lucca, which put the city under the administration of Regnant. Today there is not much left of its history beyond the ruins of the fortress that was destroyed in 1429 during an attack.
