Mentioned in documents of 1172, when some nobles of Volpedo obtained it as a feud from the bishop of Tortona Oberto and from the Tortona consuls. From 1412 it was enfeoffed to Perino Cameri and maintained by his descendants until 1727, who were succeeded by the Calcamuggi family of Alessandria. Always a rival of the nearby Volpedo, in 1513 the Ghibelline Monleale attacked and destroyed the Guelph village on the other side of the river.

Italy was the native place of many civilizations such as the Italic peoples and the Etruscans, while due to its central geographic location in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, the country has also historically been home to myriad peoples and cultures, who immigrated to the peninsula throughout history. The Latins, native of central Italy, formed the Roman Kingdom in the 8th century BC, which eventually became a republic with a government of the Senate and the People. The Roman Republic initially conquered and assimilated its neighbours on the Italian peninsula, eventually expanding and conquering a large part of Europe, North Africa and Western Asia. By the first century BC, the Roman Empire emerged as the dominant power in the Mediterranean Basin and became a leading cultural, political and religious centre, inaugurating the Pax Romana, a period of more than 200 years during which Italy's law, technology, economy, art, and literature developed.
