Early history

The area has been inhabited for approximately 1,000 years. It is probable that initially it did not have a defined city structure. During the Roman conquest, the fertility of the area guaranteed food production for Rome.

The earliest record of Onna is in 1178 during the time of Pope Clement III, in Villa Unda. Onna is mentioned again by Pope Innocent III in 1204. Aside from these two records, the early history of the area is a mystery. There existed a “grancia” (a type of agricultural company detached from the convent) run by the Cistercian monks.

Modern history

A girl was killed by Germans on 2 June 1944. Nine days later, a Nazi massacre occurred in which 16 persons were killed.[citation needed]

On 6 April 2009, 85% of Onna's territory was destroyed. Other villages were severely damaged as a result of the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake. At least 40 people died in Onna.[1]
