From the middle of the 13th century, the village was owned by the Bishop of Como and the Rusconi family. In 1171 the village was called Castellum Sancti Petri . The Bishop of Como, Bonifatius Quadri from Modena , built a church in the castle (1343), which was later called the red church in memory of the bloody quarrel between the Bosia and Rusconi in 1390 .
