Many and rich archeological findings attest that it had been an important human settlement during historical periods.

This village has a beautiful promenade from which the streets branch off. One of the squares is an ancient parade ground and next to it there is the parish of St Martin.
Of great historical, artistic and devotional interest there is the Sanctuary of Madonna del Frassino.
It stands where, in the XVIth century, a farmer, Bartolomeo Broglia, saw appearing to him the Virgin Mary with Christ Child, while, menaced by a snake, he was working at the vineyard.

The Virgin Mary was a little statue and stayed among the branches of an ash tree.
To see there are two beautiful gates: one toward Verona, Verona Gate, built by Sanmicheli, and one toward Brescia, Brescia Gate, built in 1400. Inside this second gate you can visit the governative palace, known as “Palazzo del Comando” and the rests of the Scaligera fortress. This one was used as prison during the Scaligero period. It was scene of the terrific murder of Paolo Alboino, who had been prisoned by his brother Cansignorio for ten years and then murdered in 1375.
