 The town was rebuilt on a nearby hill and repopulated, as evidenced by a bishop's document in May 1662 which says as much.The new town had less than 200 inhabitants, and despite still belonging to the parish had not yet erected a church.In 1688, Epaminonda's grandson Giovan Battista Rota assumed the baronry, however he died childless a year later and the fiefdom was forfeited per law, that is until Giovan's aunt, wife to the baron of Cereznia contested the forfeiture and had the claim returned to the Rota family.
