The town takes its name from the Roman goddess

Saracens destroyed the ancient Capua in 841 AD, some of their inhabitants moved to the Palmobara hill (the modern Bellon's "frazione" of Triflisco) founding the town ofSicopoli . This was also destroyed by the Saracens in 856. Bellona continued to be a "frazione" of Capua until the Nepoleonic Age (1806).On
October 7 1943 German soldiers shot 54 Bellona's citizens. Italian PresidentOscar Luigi Scalfaro awarded the town the Golden Medal of Military Valour to reward the town's contribute in the Resistance inWorld War II .Demographic evolution
