The documented origins of the village date back to 1191, when it was mentioned for the first time as " Fundum Sancti Mauri”". In 1932 the name San Mauro of Romagna was modified, by a Regal Decree, to "San Mauro Pascoli" in honor of the great poet.
The historical centre, the town’s heart, has maintained the eighteenth-century town hall, the ex-church of San Sebastiano and the little museum of Pascoli’s home. Only 2 km away there is the “Tower”, a place of the poet's chlildhood.
