The first written mention of Bioggio dates from 1335 as Biegio . In 1992, during excavations, the remains of a Roman building from the 3rd century were discovered, which was probably used as a thermal bath. In the Middle Ages, noble families from Lugano and Como were wealthy in Bioggio. From 1960 an industrial zone was created east of Vedeggio, which today belongs to the Lugano agglomeration.
