Pavia it was a Roman city, it was called Ticinum, and constituted the center of the Roman centuriation in the area; became Papia with the Lombards who made it their capital. It was certainly the most prestigious period for the city, which endowed itself with a substantial urban heritage, subsequently increased when Pavia was a vigorous and economically lively Municipality. In 1359 the Pavia area became a possession of the lords of Milan, and again the city was the subject of major urban interventions.
