[edit] History
Stradella, together with what is now the almost disinhabited locality of Montalino, was under the suzerainty of the bishop of Pavia in the early Middle Ages (being the most important center of the fief in the 11th century). Montalino and Pavia were repeatedly ravage in the course of the Wars of the Guelphs and Ghibellines, particularly in 1373 by John Hawkwood's troops.
The bishop's seigniory ended in 1797 with the abolition of feudalism. It obtained the status of town in 1865.
Stradella was the birthplace of Agostino Depretis.
