In English "piani di Bobbio" means "the plains of Bobbio". The land originally belonged to a monastery called the Abbazia di San Colombano. The monastery was in Bobbio, a town in the Province of Piacenza. In the middle ages, the monastery used the land for grazing cattle in the summer. Development of the ski resort began in the 1950s.[3]
