Altopascio has been inhabited since Roman times and became more important in the Middle Ages due to its Spedale (inn, first mentioned in 1084) for the pilgrims traveling on the Via Francigena, which led from France to Rome. This formed the basis of the later Order of Saint James of Altopascio.
Altopascio is also known as the “city of bread” because of its centuries-old tradition of grain cultivation.
