Surrounded by olive groves, the town was built on the coast in the Carbonara Valley. It was fairly important in Roman times (Matinum) when ships loaded with oil and wine set out from its port.
The ruins of a villa discovered near the tiny port date back to Roman times but the area was inhabited much earlier as the traces of a Bronze Age settlement discovered on the close-by Monte Saraceno demonstrate. Nowadays the town, with its outlets to the sea at Mattinatella and Baia delle Zagare, has become a seaside resort.
