The first mentions of an occupation appear towards XIIe century. At the XVIIe century, the wars and the great plagues depopulate the village completely.

The village was surrounded, until the years 1970, of a dense network of sunken lanes serving of the kitchen gardens and the orchards and ensuring the transition with the surrounding pastures.
