With the advent of the Middle Ages, the area was completely depopulated for the benefit of Campiglia Marittima, due to the proximity of the marshes carry malaria. In 1863, the inauguration of the railway line Maremma, Campiglia Marittima station was placed near Venturina. Thanks to this, the small fraction started a strong development, facilitated by the proximity of Piombino and the location on Highway 1 Via Aurelia; development that has become exponentially with the advent of the twentieth century, mainly due to the large industrial centers Piombino.
