History

The first documentation of a Roman settlement in Valle, in the locality of Zignone, predates both the villa found in Cogozzo and the aqueduct.

Jurisdictions:

  • Roman Period: The territory was under Roman rule, evidenced by the construction of the Roman aqueduct in the first century AD.
  • Medieval Period: Following the fall of the Roman Empire, the territory was conquered by the Goths, then the Longobards, and later the Franks under Carlo Magno.
  • 1404: Pandolfo Malatesta granted a statute to the territory from Carcina to Collio.
  • 1421: The statutes granted by Pandolfo Malatesta were revoked upon the return of the Milanese seigniory.
  • 1426: Brescia revolted against Filippo Maria Visconti and gave itself to the Republic of Venice.
  • 1436: Valtrompia enjoyed fiscal exemptions and administrative autonomy under Venetian rule.
  • 1511: Valligiani favorable to Venice gathered in the castle of Villa.

Major events:
