history
Archaeological finds bear witness to the Ligurian settlements that lived here in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. . AD until their defeat by the Romans lived. The place was mentioned several times in the 10th century as Pieve di San Terentio di Rogiana, the place and the two churches were first documented in 1168 in a document from Pope Alexander III. to the priest of Pieve Fosciana . The lords of Careggine and Bacciano ruled here from the 11th century (today a ruined castle near Villetta , San Romano in Garfagnana ). After the expansion of Lucca , the place came to the Vicaria di Camporgiano with the Statuto Lucchese in 1308 . After the death of Castruccio Castracani († 1328), the place came under the rule of Malaspina , who gave the feudal rights of the place to Florence from 1341 to 1343. The Malaspina era ended after local uprisings in 1348 and Poggio (Podii Sancti Terenzii) came under the rule of Pisa. By Charles IV. The place in 1369 came to Lucca, where the location to 1430 and the fall of the Signoria of Paolo Guinigi remained. After several years of territorial disputes between Florence, Lucca and Pisa, the residents asked for help from Leonello d'Este (1407–1450), who then ruled from 1446. The d'Este were then the masters of the place (Vicaria estense di Camporgiano), with the exception of the Napoleonic occupation, until the unification of Italy.
