Locality (78 m above sea level) and farmhouse 4 km from Ghedi, towards the W. Perhaps from scopollo or scòpo, the common name for heather scoparia. It stood in a sterile and infertile area. An important settlement (dating back to between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD) certainly existed near Scovola, on the Leno-Ghedi border where in 1895 and 1897 a large quantity of very high quality furnishings were found in seven Roman tombs, including coins, jewellery, glass ampoules and jars, clay objects, a cameo, preserved in the Roman Museum of Brescia. The number of burials, even if it does not authorize us to believe in a large settlement, is still indicative of a vicus or a manor house, property of rich colonists who had to manage their own estate with the help of servants and slaves. In serious decline, and almost reduced to a wasteland or junkyard, in 1880 it was purchased by the De Giuli brothers who in twenty years reclaimed it and transformed it into a modern company. In 1904, approximately 200 pears had been cleared and the reclamation was still continuing in 1925. More recently the company, purchased by Luigi Lucchini, was transformed into a highly specialized livestock farm. In 1945 a small church dedicated to the B.V. was built. and diligent pastoral assistance is ensured.
