Two all, on the same patch of plain, in seventeen years. The hill of the Rocca was used by Napoleon as a command position.
Long before, the village was called Calidarium, for its warm waters: the Roman pools of the baths of Juno are still there, fed by two springs that come out at twenty-seven and twenty-five degrees. In the hamlet of Caldierino, in 1777, Gaetano Callido built an organ of five hundred pipes.
