Originally a fishing village, and the centre of daily life is still the Port Canal built at the beginning of the 14th century.
At the beginning of the 16th century, the great Leonardo da Vinci was commissioned by Cesare Borgia, Duke Valentino, to improve the structure of the port and extend the length of the piers.
