history

The village was first mentioned in 1246 as Calpiognia . In the Middle Ages the village belonged to the vicinìa Faido and the parish Faido- Mairengo . In 1577 it already had a chapel dedicated to St. Eutychios . In 1665 the chapel was rebuilt and consecrated to St. Athanasius. In 1651 the chapel of St. Anthony of Padua was built in Primadengo . At the beginning of the 19th century, it still comprised Campello TI , which was separated from the church in 1837 and civilly in 1853 and became a separate church and political community.

Merger with Faido

On April 1, 2012, it merged with the municipalities of Anzonico , Campello , Cavagnago , Chironico , Mairengo and Osco to form the existing municipality of Faido .

In a referendum in March 2004, the citizens of Calpiogna rejected the merger of their municipality with Faido, Osco, Mairengo, Campello, Anzonico, Rossura , Calonico , Chiggiogna , Cavagnago and Sobrio , although the municipality has few resources and is financially completely dependent on the canton .
