San Bartolomeo in Bosco has a history that dates back to just under three hundred years, when there was nothing but swamps and a few huts made of reeds and mud. In 1735, the first settlers settled in a new land that emerged in an area called "li Boschi" and built a small oratory on the properties of Count Bartolomeo Masi. Over time, the village became a real community with the construction of the church of San Bartolomeo in 1786 and the appointment of the first parish priest, Don Botti.
