Sights include the castle, the churches of San Niccolò (rebuilt in the 18th century, including a 15th-century Madonna del Pianto from the medieval edifice) and San Leonardo (1785) and the oratory of San Terenzio (housing 17th-century paintings).

On 22 August 2009, Ugo Verni from Bagnone won an estimated €146.9 million (£128 million / US$211 million) in Italy's SuperEnalotto.[3] This is thought to be Europe's biggest ever lottery win, and is one of the biggest wins ever anywhere.[3]
