History
During Roman times, Borgarello was crossed by the Mediolanum-Ticinum road, a Roman road connecting Mediolanum (Milan) with Ticinum, which is modern-day Pavia
In a document from 1181, it is referred to as Bulgarello. During the Visconti era, it was included in the Parco Nuovo, a large hunting estate located between the Castle of Pavia and the Certosa (Charterhouse of Pavia). After the fall of the Sforza family and the deterioration of this park, the name Parco Nuovo continued to be used to denote the administrative division of which Borgarello was a part. In the 16th century, it became a fief of the Pallavicino family, and in the 18th century, it was under the Mezzabarba family of Pavia.
In 1929, the municipality of Borgarello, along with Torre del Mangano and Torriano, formed the new municipality of Certosa di Pavia, but it regained its autonomy in 1958.
