Agricultural centre situated on the hills stretching between ‘rio Cornigliasca’ and ‘rio Castellania’, surrounded by extensive vineyards. Paderna is located in the first buttresses of the Ligurian lower Apennine.
The town foundation is attributed to farmerss from Tortona before the year one Thousand. The name ‘Paderna’ comes from ‘paterna’, word with two different meanings: ‘lands inherited from the fathers’ or ‘paternal villa’.
