Santa Giulietta

Description

Town of the Oltrepò Pavese area, crossed by the river Verzate, located on the border between the Po Valley the Appennino Ligure, Santa Giulietta was inhabited since ancient times from the Ligurian and Gauls and later it became a Roman settlement. The first official documents date back to year 1000, in which the town is mentioned as one of the most important wine production centers of the whole Region. It belonged to the fief of Broni (XIII century), the territory was later ceded to the lords Beccaria in the XV century and to the Trotto and the Isimbardi in the XVIII century. The town ruled over the nearby areas during the reign of Savoy and it distinguished itself for the commitments in the partisan struggle during the Second World War.
