A municipality in the province of Novara, whose territory is divided into several districts and villages, all different one to each other and all characterized by the presence of important historical sites:
- Briallo, for example, features several late medieval mansions; Lagna was cited in a document of the XIX century; and the presence of Opagliolo is attested since the XII century. The town is also famous for the presence of faucet and tap factories, the first of which opened in 1920.
The discovery of some artifacts in the area evidence the presence of a settlement since the second Iron Age. It has also been demonstrated that there was a presence of the Lombards in the territory. The medieval center was protected by a castle, which was destroyed in 1311 during clashes with the Ghibellines of Novara. Subsequently the bishops of Novara obtained the title of Count and exercised their authority for a long period. The present municipality was established in the second half of the XVI century by the union of three existing villages and here the Bishop Serbelloni established a new parish.
