Medieval Spinium, which had its own counts in the Norman period, corresponds to the frazione of Spigno Vecchio.[4]
The toponym "Spigno" derives from the spread over the territory of two thorny plants, the hawthorn and the wild plum, and from the fact that the latter was used by the Spigno inhabitants to make the fencing fences with its thorns more effective.
