History
Legno was founded in the 1600s by Italians colonizers as a bourg dedicated to timbery and slowly became one of the major cities in the colony. After Benedetto's war of independence, the city had a demographic decline due to the high casualties of the war, reaching 13.000 inhabitants in 1834. In April 1921, David Cova, Marco Barcaneri and Camillo Bellieni founded in the city the Benedettian Restoration Party, which quickly rose to power and managed to restore the demographics of the nation.
