History of Cornegliano Laudense
The history of Cornegliano Laudense dates back to ancient times. It was long governed by the Captains of Cornegliano, and later controlled by the Counts Barni from 1633. In the Napoleonic period (1809-1816), Cornegliano became a hamlet of Lodi, but regained its autonomy when the Lombardo-Veneto Kingdom was created in 1815. In 1863, Cornegliano officially became "Cornegliano Laudense" to distinguish itself from other locations with the same name. In 1879, the municipality of Cascina Campolungo was annexed to Cornegliano Laudense and the municipal seat was transferred to the hamlet of Muzza Sant'Angelo. In the 1970s, the hamlet of Muzza Sant'Angelo experienced significant growth, thanks to its location along the State Road 235 and its proximity to the A1 motorway.
