Built near the centuration of Concordia, it assumed great importance that it preserved even after the fall of the Roman Empire. During the Middle Ages the territory of Pasiano became a Parish that had jurisdiction over a vast area. It belonged first to the Bishops of Concordia and then, from the time period between the XII and the late XVIII century, it was a fief under the domain of the Lords of Prata. The municipality was established only in the Napoleonic era.
