history

There is evidence of a necropolis in the municipality for the first century BC. Presumably, a settlement here has existed since the 3rd or 4th century BC. With the Christianization by Ambrosius , the archbishop of Milan , the region remained under the rule of Milan. However, the community crossed the border between Como and Milan: the parish of San Siro was assigned to Como , and San Vito to Milan. Since 2007 the municipality has had the title Città (city).
