The area was inhabited in Roman times, but developed as an urban center only in the High Middle Ages. Calvi was a fief of the Orsini and then of the Anguillara families.
Among the main attractions are:
- Santa Maria Assunta: Church with a late Renaissance baptismal font
- San Antonio: Church with a detailed 16th century (presepe) Nativity display
- Santa Brigida monastery and church: Formerly an Ursuline order convent, now a civic museum of religious art and life; the church built by Ferdinando Fuga in late-baroque style
