As ancient documents recount, "a sorvegliar l'antica magione eretta a protezion de' pellegrini c'erano i pauperes commilitones Christi templiqui Salomonis". The most noted Knights Templars found shelter in this small strip of land to safeguard the wayfarers on their way to the Holy Land and having need of protection and assistance during their journey. On the third Sunday in October, on the occasion of the Festival of the Madonna della Salute, there is celebrated the traditional greasy pole game.
