History
[edit]The territory on which Arconate currently stands was inhabited in ancient times by the Ligurians, who then left room for the Celts during the fifth century BC. A trace of the Ligurian origin would still be found in the phonetics of the local dialect; the conservation of these features is justified by the remoteness of the ancient village from larger centers and from the main roads.[3] Like all of Cisalpine Gaul, this area was also conquered in the third century BC. by the Romans, who revolutionized the territorial organization: they divided the agricultural fields with an orthogonal line formation and likewise did for the construction of roads and paths, on the model of the topography of military camps
