history

The places were first mentioned in the 9th century as Vallibus (823) and Valli (899). At that time they belonged as a fiefdom to the counts from what is now the neighboring town of Careggine. In the middle of the 13th century the two places belonged to different camps in the conflict between Ghibellines and Guelfs : Vagli di Sopra belonged to the Ghibellines, Vagli di Sotto to the Guelfs. In the 14th century the places suffered several times from the conflict between Lucca and Pisa, in the 15th century Florence was added as the third party to the conflict, so that the two places finally turned to Borso d'Este in June 1451 and thus the Este from Ferrara imputed.
