history

The city lies near a river on which a Roman winter camp has been built (castra Hiberna, hence the name Vernio). A Roman bridge in what is now the Mercatale-San Quirico district came from this time and was destroyed in the Second World War. In the 12th century the fief was given to the Cadolingi noble family from Lombardy. In 1164, Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa gave the city to Count Alberto Bardi and thus to the Florentine banking family Bardi . After the Congress of Vienna , the city belonged to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany .
