The first settlement dates back to the period between the 10th and 11th century AD by Benedictine monks who were attracted to these lands and called them "San Lupo and Zosimus." A major earthquake in 1456 caused serious damage, and forced the population to move upstream, where the village was rebuilt. In 1688, another earthquake destroyed much of the rebuilt village. The survivors rebuilt it on the hill above, where homes had not suffered very much damage, due to the rocky nature of the soil.
San Lupo was later a fiefdom of various noble families. In 1877 the town was the starting point of a failed uprising against the Italian government by the anarchists Malatesta and Cafiero. There was mass emigration to the United States, Canada and South America at the end of the 19th century. After the Second World War there was another wave of emigration to Australia.
