An ancient legend tells that two pilgrims, of whom became saints return from the Holy Land, they stayed in this land and decided to stop here as a result of a divine sign. They were Arcano and Egidio and built a chapel that could preserve the sacred relics they had brought from Jerusalem.
The most flourishing period of this country is that between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, when businesses prospered, art and culture, as is well demonstrated by the historical center of this town.
The beautiful medieval buildings (with features towers), Renaissance ones and churches rich in precious frescoes are all enclosed in a center surrounded by sturdy walls and an impressive fortress.
