History of the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena

Little is known about the church's past. Around Casigno, however, there is an area of archaeological interest. During work on the Poggio-Fiegni road, remains of very old buildings came to light. They could belong to the old church of S. Maria Maddalena di Casigno, to an older temple dedicated to the goddess Cupra or to the settlement of ancient Casigno. The identification therefore remains a hypothesis.
