History

Archaeological excavations dated the first settlement to Roman period. The benedictine abbey was founded in 770 - 775 by the Lombardic King Desiderius[3] and gave the name to the city. During the 17th to 19th centuries, the silk industry developed here, from 1817 led by the family of Pietro Monti, later by Cima.
