A SHORT NOTE OF HISTORY
Canevino was originally inhabited by the Ligurian. Its name itself derives from the ligurian word "Can" (broom) and "Ven" (valley), although another interpretation would bring it back to the Latin "canabinus" (short for "hemp", hut). Canevino is known since 940, when the relic of St. Columban crossed the village while it was moved from Bobbio to Pavia , since the whole area belonged then to the monastery of Bobbio. It probably passed under the dominion of Pavia in 1164, although it was not named in the relevant diploma (which perhaps lists only castles, offices of local seigniories). Within this domain, the Sannazzaro, lords of the valley Scuropasso, had the supremacy and during subsequent subdivisions of that family they obtained Cigognola, a place situated at the mouth of the valley, while Canevino lays on the top of it. Since then Canevino remained always a dependency of that distant feud: from the usurpation of Beccaria, to the grant to the Visconti Scaramuzza, who kept the feud until the eighteenth century, when it was inherited by the D'Adda, and finally by the Barbian Belgaum, just before the end of feudalism (1797). In 1936 the town was suppressed, and annexed to Ruino, that took the name of Pometo; in 1947 was reconstituted
