history
The larger towns in the municipality emerged from the 10th century. The county of Montechiarugolo was detached from the county of Guastalla in 1456. This county was sovereign until 1612 when the Duke of Parma , Ranuccio I Farnese , annexed the area.
After Italy entered the war in June 1940, the fascist regime established an internment camp ( campo di concentramento ) in Montechiarugolo . The internees were housed in a medieval fort, the living conditions were extraordinarily modest: there was no electricity or running water, and freedom of movement was restricted. In the summer of 1940 there were over 40 foreign Jews in Montechiarugolo. In mid-December 1940 the camp had 118 internees, mainly British and French. In June 1941 Yugoslav seamen from Dalmatia joined them. After the armistice was announced on September 8, 1943, there were still 103 internees on site, most of whom were able to flee.
