history

Two battles took place near the ancient Bedriacum in AD 69. After Nero's death, Otho and Vitellius tried to enforce their claim to power. The first battle in April ended in a victory for Vitellius. Another battle broke out in October. Vespasian now entered the conflict with Vitellius. Under Mark Antony Primus, the Flavian troops were victorious. This secured Vespasian's claim to the principate.

traffic

The former Strada Statale 10 Padana Inferiore (now a provincial road) runs through the municipality from Turin to Monselice .
