The territory initially ruled by laity and clergy subdued after the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Pisa. The territory was never heavily populated because of the unhealthy climate, as well as the agricultural activity that never failed to have a start. The population has had a decided nell'Ottocento only increase, rising from 682 to 2,518 inhabitants.
