In Roman times it was a place of passage towards the Simplon pass. Under the church of San Giuseppe the remains of a furnace and an artisan workshop for metalworking were found. Roman colonization is also documented by funerary tombstones found almost everywhere in the area. The current inhabited nucleus developed around the Benedictine abbey of San Salvatore, founded in 979 by Count Amizzone del Seprio. The proof of this development is documented in a "Chronicle" or "Pasionario", a kind of medley in which lives of more or less reliable saints, texts of asceticism, letters from bishops and prelates, prayers and invocations are intertwined. In this context appears the narrative of the martyrdom of San Graziano and San Felino which occurred in 979 with the translation of their bodies to Arona, by Count Amizzone del Seprio, a troop captain under the command of Emperor Otto I. There are 249 sheets on parchment written in medieval Latin and written in Gothic. Over time, the Benedictine abbey lost its main prerogatives, mainly due to the rise of a civil authority which identified itself first with the Della Torre family, and subsequently, after its demolition, with the Viscontis, first of all Ottone who was archbishop of Milan, around the end of the thirteenth century under which the dominion of the archbishop of Milan passed. In 1263, the Milanese forces, led by the Torriani, besieged Arona by land and water, where the Milanese exiles led by Ottone Visconti had gathered[9]. Between the two hundred and three hundred years old, Stefano Visconti (1287/88 - 1327) appears to have been a Lord, married for the second time in 1318 to Valentina, daughter of Bernabó Doria, Lord of Sassello and Eliana Fieschi of the Lords of Lavagna. Stefano and Valentina had Matteo II, Galeazzo II and Bernabó Visconti, Consignori of Milan from 11 October 1354. Formerly property of the Torriani family (12th century). After the battle of Desio (1277), it belonged to the family of Ottone Visconti, Visconti and from the third or fourth decade of the 14th century it was a free municipality under the government of the Benedictine abbey.
