geography

Arbedo lies at an altitude of 278 m above sea level. M. on the left bank of Ticino , about three kilometers north of Bellinzona , an important traffic junction. Neighboring municipalities are: Bellinzona, Sant'Antonio TI , Lumino TI . Roveredo GR , Gnosca and Gorduno .

history

In the Iron Age this village was already inhabited, 10 January 1946 various bronze objects were found there in the village of Molinazzo . Today it is interpreted as the remains of the raw material store of a bronze foundry.

The find includes old material, remains of the bronze casting, semi-finished products and bars; individual pieces are considerably older. The complex includes 3,866 bronze objects from the early Iron Age ( Hallstatt D3, approx. 450 BC).

In 1422 the Milanese defeated the Confederates in the Battle of Arbedo . In 1946 the Arbedo hoard was found while working in the fields . The battle of June 30, 1422 was just a bloody episode in the Enetbirgian politics, which was pursued for a century by the statesmen of central Switzerland.

In 1417 the barons of Sax had concluded land rights with the cantons of Uri and Obwalden , which granted the latter the right to occupy Bellinzona . Disputes that had broken out among the citizens of Bellinzona gave the original cantons the opportunity to descend into Ticino at the end of February 1419. In order to keep at least the Blenio Valley , the Misox and the Monte Dongo (Lombardy) , the Counts of Sax left the town and county of Bellinzona to the Urners and Unterwaldners for the sum of 2,400 guilders (November 1, 1419).

But the Duke of Milan , Filippo Maria Visconti , did not want to lose Bellinzona. When Uri and Obwalden refused to sell the city to him, Visconti abolished the customs privileges in favor of the Swiss and finally dispatched the famous condottiere Francesco Bussone da Carmagnola , Count of Carmagnola (Piedmont) , who took Bellinzona in April 1422 and himself all of them Seized possessions of the Swiss in the south of the Alps up to Monte Piottino.

Community merger

In 1820, Castione was separated from Lumino to form the new municipality of Castione-Arbedo with Arbedo .

Attractions

Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta
Church of San Paolo called Chiesa Rossa is mentioned for the first time in 1255; today it is commonly called the Chiesa rossa because of the color of its exterior: it became famous as a result of the battle, because the dead were buried in the ossuary of the church. The second building, in medieval style, enclosed the first; it was the church from 1422 with the still existing tower. The third church as it stands now is an enlargement of the second: it probably dates from the 15th century and contains interesting paintings from the 16th and a Last Supper, probably from the 15th century
