History

In 1326 alone, a Confraternity distributed a denarius of alms to each of 2,000 individuals in the Astino valley. In 1361-1362, the Confraternity of Misericordia Maggiore in Bergamo donated 2 lire to a member named Cresoke, whose house was destroyed.
As of the 21st Century, there remains a mix of gardens and forests in the Astino valley.
