SymbolsExplore this chapter
Territory subject to the jurisdiction of the Abbey of San Colombano di Bobbio[5], arose as a small urban complex around the ancient parish church. Equipped with a castle, it was subject to bishops of Tortona, following a papal bull in 1157.
High to the rank of imperial fief, it was attributed to Malaspina, who held it until its suppression (1797).
At the 1946 institutional referendum, 58.4% of local voters voted for monarchy and 41.5% for the Republic[6].

Pieve di Santa Maria Assunta. The ancient parish church is a Romanesque building, consisting of a central nave with a hut roof and two side aisles with simple ground roof. The entrance is decorated with a stone portal, surmounted by a bezel containing a Romanesque frieze. The protiro that enlivens the facade is a recent addition (XIX century).
In the hamlet of Lunassi a Museum of peasant civilization has recently been established, in which tools, tools, machinery, documents and objects are collected that demonstrate to the visitor the struggle for survival of a population attached to a poorly fertile land.
The hamlet of Caldirola (1,110 m asl) is a well-known ski resort with lifts.
