The locality is named in a document of 781 attributed to Charlemagne and renewed in the imperial privileges of Otto I of the year 962 and others (2).

He generally followed the fate of Montecchio. In 1406 it was one of the villas, which were part of the county of Reggio, assigned by the Duke of Milan to Ottobono Terzi.Together with Montecchio passed to the Lord of Ferrara in 1420. In 1660 there were 226 inhabitants. In 1713 the feud of Montecchio passed to the Ducal Chamber. From then to 1796 Gaida was an autonomous municipality in the Marquisate of Montecchio (3). At the end of the eighteenth century it had 351 inhabitants (4). In 1797 figure included in the canton of St. Eulalia (St. Hilary) and then common with Cadè until 1815. It passed again under S. Ilario and finally in 1827 is aggregated to the Town Hall (5). In a document of the tithes of 1230 of the Diocese of Parma, appears the chapel of St. Giuliano dependent on the Pieve di Montecchio.The church gained independence with the suppression of this plebanat in the 16th century. With the Bull of Pope Pius VII in 1821 it was assigned to the Diocese of Reggio to which it was in fact united on 20 April 1828 (6). In the 16th century the nave of the primitive building was extended. Renovation and expansion works were carried out in the seventeenth century when the old rectory was also built.In a plan of 1691 there are four chapels arranged at noon, square choir, tower to the north; there is also attached the sacristy and the farmhouse. Other interventions were made between 1763 and 1773. The new rectory was built in 1774. At the beginning of the nineteenth century the church was old and falling and in 1813 threatened ruin. In 1821 the restoration was undertaken; the walls were raised, the face was made and a new choir was built above the main gate (7). Choir and sacristy were rebuilt by the provost Domenico Fabbi in 1851 (8). Inside there is a seventeenth-century fresco of the Madonna Delle Grazie with S. Rocco and S. Antonio abbot located once in the oratory of the village.
