The pre-Roman origins of this village are confirmed by votive altar from the second century A.D. that belonged to some people called the "Ausuciates", who gave the village their name. In the area, there was a reflourishing of churches, such as the Romanesque Church of San Giacomo in spurano or that of Santa Maria Maddalena in the hamlet of Ospedaletto. At the foot of the mountain, which rises above the village, there is the Santuario of Beata Vergine del Soccorso (Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Rescue).
Further up, we find the Monastero di San Benedetto with its beautiful cloister. Another important church was that of Sant'Eufemia, which was one of the six churches on the Isola Comacina.
