History
In the hamlet of San Pietro some roman ashes has been found so we can suppose that there was a roman village in this area. During the Migration Period the region was invaded by Quadi, Marcomanni, Sarmatians, Alemanni, Visigoths, Svevi, Alani, Unni, Lombards, Franks and Hungarians. The town of Rosà born officially in 1533 during the domain of the Republic of Venice. After the napolionic invasion the whole region was sold to Austria-Hungary (with the neighboring Lombardy to form the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia) with which remained until 1866 when with the Third Italian War of Independence it became part of Italy. Rosà was very closed to the front during the First World War. After the Second World War Rosà became part of the Italian Republic.
