There is no certain data on the founding of the village, but the most reliable research has the origin of the name derived from the Celtic language words Brigo-dunum, meaning fortress hill, castle. Indeed, there is evidence of a possible settlement of Celts in Monferrato around the 4th century B.C., supposedly coming from central Europe in search of land and wine. Little evidence remains from Roman times, but it appears that Bruno was on a secondary Roman road from the 3rd century BC. The Lombards leave as the only evidence the names of streams passing near Bruno, Gherlobbia (sheepfold enclosure), Ghisone (Wiso's property). In the 10th century some Saracen settlements from France settled in the hills. Today's name Bruno originated around the year 1000.
