It was only with the construction of the railway from Rome to Naples at the end of the 19th century that a settlement at Segni - Paliano station with the name Segni Scalo emerged , although it was located in the municipality of Valmontone . With the settlement of industry (explosives and cement), the settlement grew steadily.
