During the Neolithic period different populations is still unknown who inhabited areas of the plain of the river Sarca, creating new settlements in the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. The castle, built by the Emperor Theodoric was occupied by a lordship coming from Bavaria that after conquering it got the feudal investiture of the Bishop of Trento Altemanno.
