Formerly known as simply '''Corteno''', the name of the village was changed in 1956 after the memory of scientist [[Camillo Golgi]], who was born there in 1843 and was the first Italian to be awarded with the [[Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine]] in 1906. The town houses a museum dedicated to his work.
