News of the village dates back to a settlement of the Vestini in the first century BC. on the Roman road Claudia Nova. He had relations with the city of Peltuinum in Prata d'Ansidonia. A gravestone from 58 BC it is kept in L'Aquila. An 11th century church dedicated to Santa Maria di Forfona would suggest its construction on top of a temple of Jupiter. The medieval village was built in the 11th century around the fortified enclosure castle. The village below was called "Bariscianello", as it was divided into various districts. The center in the thirteenth century (1254) participated in the foundation of L'Aquila. In the fourteenth century there were numerous territorial disputes with the neighboring Barony of Carapelle for the possession of the pastures, disputes that lasted until the nineteenth century. In the 15th century, during the Aquila war of 1424, it was devastated by Braccio da Montone. The citizens tried to resist in the castle, but it was completely destroyed, minus the walls, and the inhabitants made slaves. In the sixteenth century the territory lived on sheep farming thanks to the presence of the sheep track, and this was the main economic source of the country until the twentieth century. The signs of the development of the village are due to the considerable wealth of religious architecture such as San Flaviano and Santa Maria Valleverde, and the palaces of the feudal lords. It suffered damage in 1703 with the earthquake and also in 2009. Source Web
