Founded in the Middle Ages, it was part of the County of Lecce until the 13th century, when it became part of the fief of Carovineis. The village came under the control of Montenegro family and, in 1613, of the Palmieri.[3] Urban and demographic growth, started in the last decades of the 20th century and early 21st, was due to its proximity to Lecce and its urban area. The population, 3,795 in 2001, increased by 1,000 in 10 years.
