[edit] History
The territory, due to the fertility of the land, was inhabited since as early as the Paleolithic Age. The name of the village derives from holm-oaks, which once covered the area. During the 15th century it belonged to the town of Penne and for a long time to the Castiglione family. It was known in the late 19th century for its ceramic workshops.
