The territory in the past had attended during the time Etruscan and Roman, as evidenced by archaeological finds of the necropolis and the remains of kilns at Poggio all'Aglione, Bellafonte, Iano and Castelfalfi. Under Poggio all'Alglione are remains of a Roman villa with mosaic floors and a cistern for water. At about 500 meters from this country is the oratory of San Biagio which retains a crypt Christian.
