Aquila is a village and a former independent political municipality in the Olivone district , in the Blenio district of the canton of Ticino in Switzerland .

geography

The village is located at 789 m above sea level. M. in the Blenio valley , on the western slope of the Colma (2488 m above sea level) and on the left bank of the Brenno . 19 km north of the Biasca station of the Gotthard Railway and on the Biasca- Olivone road . In addition to the main town, the former municipality of Aquila included the hamlets of Dangio, Grumarone, Pinaderio, Ponto Aquilesco, as well as a number of Maiensässen on the slope of Punta di Larescia and in Val Soi , which branches off to the east from Dangio. According to a document from 1281, the hamlet of Angerio, which has disappeared today, was also part of the political and parish of Aquila. The territory comprised two exclaves - areas that Aquila kept when Ghirones split off . Part of the Lago di Luzzone lies in the larger exclave .

Aquila bordered the following municipalities, listed clockwise from the southeast: Serravalle , Torre , Acquarossa , Olivone and Ghirone in the canton of Ticino, and Medel (Lucmagn) , Vrin and Vals in the canton of Graubünden .

history

The village was first mentioned in 1196 as Aquili . In the Middle Ages, Aquila shared the history of the Blenio Valley. Around 1200, the neighborhood Ghirone also belonged to Aquila. The borders established in 1853 when the two municipalities were separated remained in place until the merger. In the beginning of the 13th century the inhabitants of Olivone and Aquila united and revolted, believing that their independence was threatened by the subjugation of the Ambrosian valleys under Rodolfo Orelli of Locarno . The persistent struggle was ended on November 1, 1213 by the arbitration awards of the barons Albert and Heinrich von Belmont; they had to recognize the jurisdiction of the Capitanei of Locarno. In 1219 Aquila and most of the neighborhoods of the Blenio Valley were involved in a process against this capitanei.

Memory of Abele Rigozzi from Aquila in the cemetery. He worked as a waiter on the Titanic in 1912 .

The separation of the civil parishes took place in 1914. An important source of income was emigration to European countries (chocolate manufacturers, waiters, servants).

Community merger

The merger of the five municipalities in the upper valley section, decided by the cantonal parliament on January 25, 2005, met with resistance in Aquila, which wanted to remain independent. After the federal court had rejected the municipality's complaint on April 18, 2006, the merger with the municipality of Blenio originally planned for spring 2006 became a fact. On October 22, 2006, Aquila was merged with Campo (Blenio) , Ghirone, Olivone and Torre to form the new municipality of Blenio .
