On November 25, 2007, the merger of the municipalities on the south bank of Lake Maggiore to form the new municipality of Gambarogno was approved by the voters of the municipalities of Caviano, Contone , Gerra (Gambarogno) , Indemini , Magadino , Piazzogna , Sant'Abbondio and Vira (Gambarogno) ; only San Nazzaro was against it by a majority. An appeal was lodged with the Federal Supreme Court against the decision of the Ticino Grand Council to carry out the merger as planned.
