A village cooperative (vicinia) is first recorded in 1230. In the 15th century, Cevio, Cavergno , Bignasco and the communities of the Valle di Campo formed the landscape (comunità) Rovana superior . In 1858 the municipality of Linescio was separated from Cevio.

On October 22, 2006, Cevio merged with Cavergno and Bignasco to form the municipality of Cevio. The merger, which was planned for January 23, 2005, had to be postponed because a lawsuit was still pending before the federal court . In April 2006, however, the Bignasco municipality's appeal against the forced merger was dismissed by the federal court.

population

Between 1591 and 1801, the population decreased by emigration in the Valtellina significant. It grew rapidly until 1850, mainly because of the function of the municipality as the upper center of the valley. By 1888, the population decreased, but less than in other municipalities in the Maggia Valley. Towards the end of the 19th century, the great wave of emigration to the centers of Ticino and overseas (California, Australia) began (1888–1920: - 36.2%).

In the 1940s and 1960s there was another population growth (1941–1970: + 60.6%), which was followed by another large wave of emigrants (1970–1990: - 26.5%) to more urban regions of Ticino between 1970 and 1990. Strong growth in the 1990s (1990–2000: + 20.3%) was followed by a smaller population decline (2000–2004: - 4.2%).

languages

In Cevio, a Lombard dialect is spoken that is very different from standard Italian. At the last census in 2000, 77.87% (in 1970 it was 95.73%) said Italian as their main language. Another 10.87% (in 1970 still 1.42%) spoke German, 4.23% (1970 still 2.31%) spoke Spanish.

Religions - denominations

In earlier times the entire population belonged to the Roman Catholic Church. Today (as of 2000) 78.27% are Roman Catholic ( Diocese of Lugano ), 7.66% Protestant Reformed ( Chiesa evangelica riformata nel Ticino ) and 1.61% Orthodox Christians. 5.63% describe themselves as non-denominational and 1.81% as Muslim. 4.62% of the residents did not give any information about their creed. The Muslims are of Bosnian and Albanian origins.

Origin - nationality

At the last census, 76.86% were Swiss citizens, including 24 dual citizens. The largest groups of immigrants come from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Sri Lanka. The high proportion of immigrants, which is unusual for the region, is due to the large number of jobs in industry (quarries) and health care (hospital).

politics

The municipal council ( consiglio comunale ) forms the legislature and consists of 25 people who belong to four different groups from 2016-2020. The community president is Pierluigi Martini, his deputy Elena Fenini (legislature 2016–2020).

economy

Cevio is one of the few places in the Maggia Valley with a minority of commuters. 120 employees (= 57.4%) work in their own community. Of the 89 Wegpendlern the majority of its revenues outside of the Maggia Valley - especially in Locarno, Losone , Bellinzona and Minusio . Cevio could easily offer all jobseekers in the community an acquisition, because the 89 commuters are compared to no fewer than 235 inbound commuters. Of the 355 employed people in Cevio, only a quarter (25.1%) are local. The quarries, the district hospital and the public administration provide jobs for many people. Agriculture (arable farming, viticulture and animal husbandry) is hardly of any importance.

traffic

From 1907 to 1965 the community was on the Locarno-Ponte Brolla-Bignasco railway line . Since switching to bus operation, it has been connected to the public transport network by FART line 315 , Locarno - Cavergno.

Cevio is also the starting point for the postbus lines Cevio - Bosco / Gurin and Cevio - Cimalmotto. The road from Locarno to the Maggia Valley is winter safe.
