In 1934, digging, Picene tombs of the seventh and sixth centuries before Christ came to light.
The village sided with the Ghibellines in a Guelph March, and paid for it: on the twenty-fifth of September 1301 the rector of the March, nephew of Pope Boniface VIII, fined the podestà of Torre San Patrizio a thousand silver marks. In December 1414 a Malatesta, having taken Rapagnano, camped on the Ete Morto and took this castle too. From here, much later, Felipe Rutini left for Argentina, where he set about making wine.
