The Lodi city was founded on August 3, 1158, by Frederick Barbarossa, following the destruction of the ancient village of Laus Pompeia, formerly a Roman municipium, bishop's seat and free commune.
During the Renaissance it experienced a period of great artistic and cultural splendor, having hosted in 1454 the signing of the historic treaty between the pre-unification Italian states known as the Peace of Lodi.
