history

The village was first mentioned as Gandrio in 1237 . The political community existed as early as 1463 and for a long time was in dispute with the communities Albogasio , Ramponio Verna , Lanzo d'Intelvi and Oria , which were then subordinate to the Archbishops of Milan, because of the borders and pastures on the right (northern) bank of Lake Lugano . The Diet, the Archbishop and the Ambassador of Milan, even the Nuncio were drawn into this dispute, which lasted from 1543 to 1659. In 1624 the scholarships for the Canton of Schwyz at the Helvetic College in Milan were canceled.
