To the northeast of the church were found palifications of indeterminate age. In 1870 the Scelsi, on the instructions of the Chierici, attributed the settlement to the Bronze Age, also signalling the presence of Roman ruins (1). A "castrum Marmoriolum" is named in 1052 (2). There owned assets the Monastery of St. Prospero for donations received in 1079 and 1084 (3). It was one of the places that Marquis Boniface of Canossa gave to the Church of Reggio in return for the others who had had had in emphyteusis. It is also indicated in other maps of 945, 1058 and 1092 (4). Court, chapel and castle are confirmed in 1193 by the Imp. Arrigo VI to the Church of Reggio (5). The Church of S. Margherita and S. Biagio is mentioned in the testament of Lombardo Strelaro in 1255 and in a map of 1302 (6). In 1543 the rectory threatened ruin; in 1706 the church was very damp and a ship "slotted" and with three altars. It was rebuilt from the foundations in 1724. The parish belonged, until the middle of the eighteenth century, half to Reggio and half to Rubiera. In 1905 it was restored and finally decorated by the painter Giuseppe Baroni in 1943 (7). It is of good architecture with a Greek cross plan and three altars. The facade is a hut, oriented liturgically, the portal is architraved and in the attic runs a molded frame. The bell tower has a single-light cell. The Municipality of Marmirolo appears in 1315 (8). At the end of the eighteenth century included 365 inhabitants (9). In 1815 it was joined to the Town Hall (10). In the locality there is the rural complex to the west of the church with the dairy "Orphans" bearing on the facade the emblem of the charity.
