During the first century BC the Roman intervention gave the Bagnatica area a definitive structure, with the works of agricultural subdivision and water regulation.
In this period, the road layouts were defined, such as the foothill one, while in the area located between the two rivers Oglio and Cherio centers of significant importance such as Cicola, Telgate and Carobbio degli Angeli were established.
The remains of Domus, villas, necropolis and stretches of roads testify the presence of the Romans everywhere.

The remains of the ancient tower that stands on the top of Colle San Geminiano, is what still exists today of the ancient Castle (or "Castrum") of the Ghisalbertini De Martinengo Counts, who bought it in 1045, becoming the lords of Mezzate ( today Bagnatica).
Originally the tower was inserted in a much more complex fortified structure, surrounded by defensive walls, inside which other buildings were built, including the church dedicated to San Geminiano (no longer existing) and a well, whose remains are still visible.
