The name of Assignano probably derives from "Gens Asinia": there is an ancient tradition, confirmed in documents which date back to the XVI century of terracotta and stone work.
There is a fresco of Jesus Crucified on the entrance gate. The St Vittorina Parish church, inside the castle is built on the ruins of original chapel. In there is a venerated canvas in oils, representing the Madonna, probably a copy of a XV century relic.
