history
The place was first mentioned in 754. In the 12th and 13th centuries, the place was under the Gherardinghi from the Fortezza delle Verrucole . At the end of the 13th century, the Gherardinghi were followed by the Lucca family dei Guidiccioni as rulers in the place. From 1308 to 1341 the place is mentioned as belonging to the Vicaria di Castiglione , then the condottiere Spinetta Malaspina from the Malaspina family ruled until 1345 (* 1282 in Verrucola Bosi (district of Fivizzano ); † March 3, 1352 in Fosdinovo ). In 1345 Pisa took over power, which lasted until 1369 when Charles IV returned the Garfagnana area to Lucca. Sillicagnana remained with Lucca until the fall of the Signoria of Paolo Guinigi. After several years of territorial disputes between Florence, Lucca and Pisa, the residents asked for help from the d'Este , to whom they swore allegiance on February 3, 1430. 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. On September 7, 1920, the place was damaged by a severe earthquake.
