Description: The town owes its name to the presence of numerous brickworks which characterized it during the Etruscan and Roman periods. During the Medieval period it was an important castle. The old village is gathered around the square onto which the church dei Santi Ippoliti e Cassiano faces. On the side of the building there are the remains of a very interesting mosaic coming from an old pieve. From the top of its hills a splendid view over the countryside reveals the rural architecture represented by numerous farm houses and Leopoldine houses with their characteristic dove cotes, elements of tradition and culture typical of this valley. In December there is a particular exhibition of Nativity scenes which takes place in the historic centre.
