History

History

The history of this locality dates back to the 11th century. Its name is taken from the word "Onsu", which means eleven, because it was the eleventh municipality in the region surrounding Clavesana.

This area belonged to Bonifatius del Vasto in 1091 and the people of Clavesana inherited it until it was sold to Genoa in 1393.

The municipality of Onzo bought its freedom in 1581 for 50,000 gold crowns plus the annual payment of 200 gold crowns to the Genoan senate.

The "era of the Onzo Republic" lasted up to the time of Napoleonic rule.
