The Romans created the first settlements in the area . After the Gothic Wars , the Lombards took control of the area, after which the Archbishop of Ravenna ruled the area from the 8th century . In 1196 the Guidi took over territories from Pietro Traversari, including Dovadola. The place remained under the Guidi until their beginning decline in 1405, when the place was given up by the Guidi to the Republic of Florence . In 1467 the place was almost completely destroyed by the troops from Venice under Bartolomeo Colleoni , but remained under the control of Florence. The Grand Duchy of Tuscany , which was dominated by Florence and the Medici , was followed by the town until 1860 when it became part of the Kingdom of Sardinia . With the unification of Italy in 1861, the place was assigned to the province of Florence . It was not until 1923 that the place came to the province of Forlì (from 1992 province of Forlì-Cesena).
