Cannero Riviera is an Italian municipality on Lake Maggiore . It is located in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola on the outskirts of the Piedmont region and is the holder of the Bandiera Arancione of the TCI .

geography

The municipality covers an area of ​​14.42  km² . The fractions Barbè, Cassino, Cheggio, Donego, Oggiogno, Piancassone and Ponte belong to Cannero Riviera . The place lies on the alluvial cone of the river Rio di Cannero. On the northern Lake Maggiore and especially on its eastern shore, such alluvial cones are practically the only flat spots on the otherwise rocky shore. Cannero is oriented exactly to the south, which means that it has a particularly mild climate, which is why it was given the nickname “Riviera” in 1947.

history

The parish first appears in a deed of property transfer in 985, but municipal independence comes in the 14th century. In 1524 the Sforzas destroyed the city ​​as an area that remained loyal to the Visconti family .
