History
editThe first documents attesting to the existence of the village of Vargnano date back to the year 1000. However the birth of the original village seems to be earlier than a few centuries. The construction of Varignana in fact would have been due to the destruction of the nearby Roman city of Claternae, which occurred around the fifth century.
To date the oldest buildings still remained intact in Varignana are the crypt, in the Church of San Lorenzo, the ruins of the access casserro and the south-west tower. In fact with the bombings of the Second World War almost all the houses were destroyed.[2]
Transports
editToday Varignana is served by a railway station, located 4 km (2.5 mi) apart from the hamlet.
