History[]

The ancient Nocetum was located along an ancient road, in the current location of Casale vecchio, and its origins date back to Roman times. Documents between 8th and 13th century mention both Casale and Nocetum as two different locations. Nocetum in 972 is confirmed to the Abbey of Saint Colombanus di Bobbio by Emperor Otto I, who in the same year in a donation to the monastery of San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro in Pavia mentioned Casale.[4]

In the 14th century the country is involved in the struggles between the Guelphs, on whose side is sided by the nearby Tortona, and Ghibellines, for which it partisan.[5]

In 1373 it was completely destroyed by the troops of Giovanni Acuto, and then rebuilt in its current position by order of Galeazzo Visconti, Duke of Milan.

In 1415, Filippo Maria Visconti assigned the village to Tortona and in 1469 it was granted as a fief for two thirds to Giovanni Spinola and one third to Gabriele Visconti.

In 1523 Charles V granted it as a fief to the Spinola counts of Los Balbases, aggregating it to the county of Tortona and then to the Duchy of Milan.[6]

In 1707, following the accusation of partisanship against Philip V, were seized all assets to Spinola, including Casalnoceto, which will return in possession from 1725[7] to 1797, the year of suppression of the feuds.

In December 1798 it was constituted as a republican municipality.

In 1814 the Savoy placed it under the mandate of Volpedo.[8]
