Lusignano
About 1,000 inhabitants about 4 km from the inhabited center, in a strip of plain between the River Centa and the offshoots of the steep hills that delimit the southern plain. The town is crossed by a stream called Rio Carpaneto. The inhabited area develops along the hilly ridge with a rather articulated structure, probably evidence of an older origin than the other villas of the plain. During the excavations for the construction of a new residential complex, in the region of Rusineo, ruins of a Roman villa of considerable size emerged, signaling a presence in the area certainly dating back to Roman times. During the First World War he made his great contribution to the victory of Italy, and during the second it was a country whose hills gave refuge to the partisans, who according to legends and findings deposited many of their armament in the abundant caves.
