History
[edit]The settlements in the territory of Santa Maria la Longa are documented only starting from the Roman period; in fact, many archaeological finds scattered in a uniform way over the whole area date back to that age.
It is worth mentioning the hamlet of Tissano, which was destroyed by the Turks in 1477; its antiquity is proven by the finding - in the 1950s - of a Lombard cemetery.[4]
