After the end of the Roman Empire, the quite populated area was under Gothic and Byzantine rule. Already around 500 there were monasteries here, as papal letters prove. The Longobards followed and around 1000 there must have been two churches in Casalpiano. In the archaeological area of ​​Casalpiano the remains of a Roman villa were discovered. However, the area was turned into a necropolis and to date more than 50 graves have been discovered. Of the two churches, that existed (Santa Maria and Santa Apollinare) only Santa Maria still exists, but the current church was probably built between in the 13th century. On the side of the current church are the monumental remains of another sacred building, the dating of which is still uncertain given the considerable size and height of the buildings.
