Documents dating from 1239 prove the existence of a mill located in Villatico. After a flood in 1496 destroyed the town of St. George (now Colico Piano), Villatico became the largest town in the Colico area. Meanwhile, devotion for St. Bernardino of Siena, known for curing the plague victims. In the 18th century, after the plague ended, the first harbor built in the town and Colico Piano became increasingly important.
