History
The origins of the town date back to the Middle Ages, and its name is linked to the word “Pieve,” which in Italy refers to the main rural church that served as a religious and administrative center for the surrounding villages. The name “Porto Morone” is related to its location near the Po River, where a small river crossing or port once existed and was used for transportation and trade in the past [3].
During the Middle Ages, the area was under the influence of nearby cities such as Pavia. It later became part of the Duchy of Milan, before eventually being incorporated into the unified Italy in the nineteenth century.
