History and Atmosphere of Cento ------------------------------- The history of Cento has its roots in a remote past, testified by archaeological finds that attest to its presence since Roman times. However, it is in the Middle Ages that the village begins to take shape with the characteristics that still define its identity today. Originally an agricultural settlement born on a river island between the Reno and Panaro, Cento's fortune has been inextricably linked to the waterways and the fertility of its land. Its name, "Cento", is believed to derive from the Roman centuriation, the division of the territory into one hundred lots, testifying to an ancient agricultural organization. Over the centuries, Cento has been contested between the powerful Este and papal families, a period of great ferment that has left an architectural and cultural heritage of inestimable value. The Renaissance marked a golden age for the city, which saw the flourishing of art and culture, culminating with the birth of one of its most illustrious sons, Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, known as Guercino. His artistic influence is still palpable in the city's churches and palaces, which jealously preserve his works. The atmosphere of Cento is that of a welcoming and lively village, where history can be breathed in every corner, from the porticoed streets of the historic center to the majestic buildings that adorn its squares. Walking through Cento means taking a dip into the past, among ancient shops, historic cafes, and the echo of centuries of history that resonates between its walls.
