History

Ronco is mentioned for the first time in an 1127 document. It was held by the bishops of Tortona until the 13th century, and then by the Spinola family and later by the Republic of Genoa. Together with the whole Republic of Genoa, Ronco became part of the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1815. Being a major railroad junction point between Genoa and Turin, it was heavily bombed by Allied planes during the late World War II.
