history
A treasure chest of the emperor Maurizius with Byzantine coins from the end of the 6th century was found in the place. During the Spanish government (16th and 17th centuries), like all other villages in the valley, it had limited powers over the practical needs of ordinary life, but most of the public decisions were dealt with jointly by the General Council of Valsolda.
During the Napoleonic era, with 188 inhabitants, it was merged with the municipality of Albogasio against his will (decree of June 8, 1805). The restoration of autonomy took place in 1816 after the establishment of the Kingdom of Lombardy-Veneto . In 1853, when Italy was unified, the village of Puria had 237 inhabitants, 240 in 1861, and the new parish rightfully took the name Puria again in 1862 .
The municipality of Puria with its 267 inhabitants was merged against their will in 1927 with the municipalities of Albogasio, Cressogno , Dasio, Drano and Castello (Valsolda) ; they form the new municipality of Valsolda .
