In the vicinity there was an ancient Roman settlement along the Via Faleria; in the 10th century AD the monastery of Santa Caterina was founded, possibly at the time of the Frankish occupation, which would eplain also the name of San martino given to the place, from St. martin the bishop of the French town of Tours. In 1240 it became a free commune.
