History

[edit]

The town was strategically located on the consular Roman road, passing from the town of Sesto Calende and linking Milan to Verbano.

In medieval times, the city was under the jurisdiction of the nearby town of Arsago Seprio, an important political centre of the region.[citation needed]

In the forest around Somma, various vestiges of trenches and landing strips dating back to the Second World War can still be found.
