Robert Guiscard established a monastery here in the 11th century. Its first abbot was Robert de Grantmesnil, the exiled abbot of Saint-Evroul-sur-Ouche, who brought with him 11 monks and began a musical tradition at Sant'Eufemia to rival the fame of that of Saint-Evroul.

Sant'Eufemia was one of 300 villages devastated by the 1783 Calabrian earthquakes.

The PBS show Finding Your Roots revealed that the ancestors of Joy Behar hailed from this village.
