History
Afa was originally a part of the community Bocognano. Because of cessions of territory of the municipalities Sarrola (now Sarrola - Carcopino ) in the Northeast, Mezzana ( today Valle di Mezzana ) in the north and Alata in the West, was established in 1852, the community Afa. The first mayor, Carlo Calvelli, the church ruled from 1852 to 1858. All residents at that time were shepherds who lived in the summer and in the winter Bocognano in Afa.
