Quinto (German outdated: Quint im Livinental ) is a municipality in the Leventina district of the canton of Ticino in Switzerland . The villages of Ambrì , Piotta , Scruengo, Varenzo, Ronco, Deggio, Catto, Lurengo and Altanca belong to Quinto.

geography

The village of Quinto is located a little above the valley floor on the left slope of the Valle Leventina at 1011 meters. Most of the population of the municipality of Quinto now lives in the villages of Ambrì and Piotta on the valley floor on the right side of the valley.

On the left side of the valley on sunny terraces lie the villages of Altanca, Ronco (Quinto), Deggio, San Martino, Catto and Lurengo, which also belong to the municipality of Quinto, crossed by the Strada Alta . However, these villages are for the most part almost depopulated and only have a few inhabitants, mostly senior citizens and mountain farmers. During the summer months, life returns to the small hamlets of Quinto on the mountain, because the old houses are mainly used as holiday apartments. The municipality also includes the villages of Scruengo and Varenzo, which, like the village of Quinto itself, lie on the left bank of the Ticino river .

Quinto forms the district of Quinto together with the municipalities of Prato (Leventina) and Dalpe .

Most of the Val Cadlimo , which represents the upper reaches of the Medelser Rhine , also belongs to the municipality of Quinto . Thus, Quinto, in addition to the neighboring community Blenio to which a small piece of Val Cadlimo at the south end of the da Lai Sontga Maria belongs and Airolo with a share of the upper reaches of the Reuss , the only community in Ticino, the share of the catchment area of the Rhine has .

Neighboring communities are Airolo , Faido , Lavizzara , Blenio as well as Tujetsch and Medel (Lucmagn) in the canton of Graubünden .

history

The village was first mentioned in 1227 as Quinto . As early as 1311, the guild of packers was mentioned in Quinto. The former vicinìa was divided into several degagne ; those from 1408 have been preserved.

The village belonged to the rodarìa Intus Montem (1371). As early as 1311, the guild of the mules was named in Quinto; they were distributed to degagne according to a list that was changed every three years and had a monopoly on the transport of goods. The former great vicinìa still exists today and includes the patriziati Catto, Lurengo, Piotta, Varenzo, Altanca, Ronco, Deggio, Ambrì-Sopra, Ambri-Sotto, Quinto and Quattro terre, which have replaced the earlier degagne.

When the confederates descended into the Leventina for the first time in 1331, Quinto was plundered and cremated. Fourteen soldiers died in the battle of Marignano . Under the rule of the Uri , the village was the seat of a court of appeal for the upper deed. In 1799 the uprising against the French and the Helvetic Republic started from Quinto ; the residents seized General Claude-Jacques Lecourbe's luggage , for which the community was given a severe fine and their church and several houses were plundered by the French troops.

traffic

The Gotthard Pass route has run through what is now the municipality of Quinto since Roman times . However, the route only became important from 1220, thanks to the conquest of the Schöllenen in the north of the pass.

Even today's main road 2 and since 1980 the Highway A2 cross the municipality. The highway is covered at the village of Quinto. The Quinto motorway junction is on the eastern edge of the community.

In addition, the Gotthard Railway runs through the municipality, with the Ambrì-Piotta stop. While 9 of the 14 trains stopped at the station in 1882, no express trains stopped between the 1980s and December 10, 2016, and regional trains only stopped twice a day. Buses operate for local traffic.

At the level before Ambri Piotta and since is the Second World War the Ambri Airport . It was used by the Swiss Air Force until 1994 , after which it was used for civil purposes. The valley station of the Ritom funicular , which connects the valley floor with the alpine and hiking area Val Piora , is in Piotta .

Alpine areas

In the Val Piora there is the Lago Ritóm reservoir and numerous mountain lakes, for example the Lago di Cadagno , the Lago di Tom or the Laghetti di Taneda. Also rich in mountain lakes is Val Cadlimo (Lago Scuro, Lago dell'Isra and others) , which belongs to the municipality, but is on the north side of the Alps . The University of Zurich , the University of Geneva and the Canton of Ticino operate a research station for Alpine biology on Lake Cadagno. A cheese of the same name is produced on Alp Piora.
