 In Lombard times the area was at first a feud of Queen Theodelinda; later King Berengar I of Italy gave control of those lands to the bishops of Monza; later it was acquired by the "Pieve" of Gorgonzola.In the 13th century it became a fief of the Torriani family and, after the former's defeat, of the Visconti.Both families' control of the area is still reflected in the names of many farmhouses, like Cascina Torriana or Cascina Visconta.
