To the north it borders with the hamlets of Tassignano and Pieve di San Paolo, to the west with Guamo and Vorno, to the east with the bed of Lake Bientina, while to the south with Monte Pisano and consequently with the Province of Pisa.

The sources have recently been renovated and equipped with a disinfection system, the quality of the water is monitored by periodic checks that guarantee its potability.

With the fall of the Roman Empire and the barbarian invasions the countryside became depopulated, the level of Lake Bientina rose and neglect of the canals caused an increase in the marshy area across the Compito plain.

When the Lombards chose Lucca as the capital of their kingdom, Compito once again acquired considerable strategic importance as feudal lords built many castles and fortifications in the area.

For a long time the territory was subject to violent incursions of Pisan, Florentine and mercenary warriors, who wanted to take possession of the Lucca region and its wealth to establish an independent republic.
