During the Second World War, in the period of the German occupation and the Italian Social Republic, Fernando Torreggiani, an anti-fascist Catholic, contributed significantly to the rescue of the six members of the Jewish Melli Rossi family from Ferrara, saving them from deportation and guide them to expatriation in nearby Switzerland. For this commitment of solidarity, the Yad Vashem Institute in Jerusalem awarded Fernando Torreggiani the high honor of the Righteous Among the Nations on March 4, 2001.

Another peculiarity are the frescoes (murals) by local artists, which decorate the historic center of the city and tell the story of the emigration life of the people of Marchio in the 19th century, during the occupation of the area by the French, Austrians and Russians.
The town is a starting point for excursions and walks towards the surrounding mountains, especially Mount La Nave, where you can visit the fortifications of the Cadorna Line (1918) and the panoramic observation point with an underground refuge, maintained by the local Civil Protection Group.
