In the Middle Ages, Fornovo was an important stop on the pilgrimage route to Monte Bardone, along the Via Francigena route, and its name is also linked to the famous battle fought in 1495 between the army of the Italian League and that of Charles VIII. Of interest to visitors are the 11th-century Romanesque parish church of Santa Maria Assunta, with its precious Antelami sculptures and the 13th-century marble slab; the 17th-century Villa Carona and the Vallezza oil well.
