The story of Lecco is very old, recent excavations of the Civic Museums of Lecco led to the discovery of a village of Golant Culture (Early Iron Age) to the Rock of Closed. The chronological horizon from the ninth century BC the fourth century A. D. So the Celts golasecchiani ISED in the area of more than 4 centuries before the arrival of the Celts Tène from across the Alps and many archaeological findings testify to the presence of the culture of Golant and La Tène in the area (Lecco Olate, Valsassina). In 2005, Erna plans to the excavation of Museums in Lecco and Bergamo University have uncovered the oldest metallurgical production site in the Alps (II century BC - I century AD). The remains of smelting furnaces and slag processing proving that this activity, which will be for two thousand years traditional Lecco, was then already flourishing. Probably also the Celtic name that links to Lecco Lech Loch or lake that is, as even today in many dialects and place names of Celtic origin (Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Galicia). The archaeological finds of Roman Age are so few and far between as to exclude the existence at the time of a settlement of some significance. This tends to rule out the possibility that some feared that historians have identified in Lecco, the Roman city founded in 95 BC by Licinius Crassus in Como. The main road from Aquileia military, through Bergamo to Como, Lecco, but not passed through to the south, the Roman bridge Olginate. The castrum on the hill of Santo Stefano, identified by Bognetti, and who conducted the first archaeological excavations Alessandro Manzoni´s father, Peter, dates from the Late Antiquity period-Altomedivale and was part of the massive fortifications of the limes, raised in defense of Mediolanum, which surrounded by all the Eastern Lario Monte Barro to sink.
