==History== The name Grimalda is of Lombard origin (Grimoaldo), a Germanic tribe that dominated northern Italy from the 6th to 8th centuries. The Romanic Church of St. George situated on the graveyard was erected in 13th century and reconstructed during the Gothic period when pillars were added on its outside. Towards the end of the last century, in 1891, beside the old church, the new parish Church of St. George was built in Neoclassical style. The main square is still called with the German word 'Platz' by the inhabitants. The inhabitants are called 'Grimaldesi'.
