In the locality, towards the Church, were found finds of the Neo-eneolithic period and Roman (1), in addition to a flint weapon of the Paleolithic (2). In the bottom Foresti is reported the trace of a deposit of the Bronze Age (2). The villa was formerly called Quaresimo from the name of the small stream that crosses it. The "Quarissimo fluvio" is mentioned in a map of 961 (2). Codemondo has always belonged to the District and Municipality of Reggio and the "Comune de Codemondo" is mentioned in a document of 1447. At the end of the eighteenth century it comprised 465 inhabitants (3). The Church of S. Pantaleone was founded by the Lords Pratoneri and is already existing in 1431. The parish was established in the seventeenth century and, in the nineteenth century, assigned to the Vicariate of Rivalta. The building was renovated in 1612.The Visit of Bishop Picenardi in 1715 describes the Church with a single nave, tavellata, but with choir and presbytery in the face. The church was damaged by the earthquake of 1832. From 1832 to 1838 it was completely rebuilt; in 1851 the left nave was built and in 1862 the right nave. The tower was raised in 1843 (4). The Church is oriented liturgically; the facade is tripartite, marked by thin pilasters with triangular frontispiece crowned by acrothers.The bell tower is concluded by a single-light cell. In front of the Church stands an interesting rural complex at court. Highlights the civil casino. It has a compact volume, on a square plan, developed in two levels and attic. The roof is four-pitched and the lights regular and symmetrically distributed. In the relief to the north of the road to Cavriago is visible a second rural nucleus. There is in particular a large building of probable origin sixteenth century with a bevel roof.  The complex has been completely renovated to residential units in recent years losing in part the original characters.
