The village of Bosia once stood in a different place. It was rebuilt on its current site - where a village called Rutte was - after a massive landslide on 8 April 1679 killed 200 inhabitants when the village suddenly sank.{{cite web|url=http://langhe.net/town/bosia-piedmont/?lang=en|title=Towns of the Langhe: BOSIA - Langhe.net|website=langhe.net|access-date=23 April 2018}}
