History

Although the area was settled since very ancient times, the origins of San Donato dates back to the 7th century, when a "pieve" was founded here by the army of Grimoald I, Duke of Benevento. After a period under the Milanese family "De Advocati", the town was a possession of the archbishops of Milan until the 16th century. A series of notable abbeys were founded in the area by Bernard of Clairvaux during the 11th century. Later Frederick Barbarossa resided here after his destruction of Milan, whil the Visconti and the Torriani fought here (1278) for the possession of the duchy of Milan. The battle of Marignano was also fought nearby, Francis I of France setting his headquarters here after the battle.

Today San Donato is a modern industrial and services centre.
