It is believed that the name of this old farming village was taken from the powerful Ghibelline family of the Torelli-Salinguerras, who owned large estates called "masi" in this area. The first historical documentation dates back to the 14th century. The buildings, above all the homes, and the layout of the village are typical of the Po Valley towns traditionally tied to agriculture.
