geography

The municipality is located near Bellinzona in the lower part of the Misox (Italian: Mesolcina). It consists of numerous factions. To the right of Moësa are Piazza (298 m above sea level), Beffeno (309 m above sea level) and Carasole (434 m above sea level). Most of the municipality, however, lies on the left side of the river up to the border with Italy. The hamlets of San Giulio , Guerra , Tovedo , Ai Rogg , Rugno and San Fedele lie in the valley floor on a cone of debris from the river. They have grown together and form the center of the place.

The Val Traversagna and its side valleys comprise the greater part of the municipal area. Of the entire municipal area of ​​almost 39 km², 2,907 hectares (75 percent) are covered by forest and wood. Another 519 hectares are unproductive areas (mostly mountains in the eastern part of the municipality). Of the 333 hectares of arable land, almost 70 percent are alpine farming areas. The settlement area covers the remaining 119 hectares of the municipal territory.

The Alpe di Rescignaga , which belongs to the territory of San Vittore GR , is almost completely enclosed by the municipality of Rovereder. Neighboring communities are San Vittore , Grono , Buseno in the canton of Graubünden and Bellinzona and Arbedo-Castione in the canton of Ticino .

history

Archaeological finds have been made in the Valasc district , including Roman copper and bronze coins and a burial ground.

Since the Lombard times, Roveredo has been divided into four Degagne: Campagna, now called San Giulio, San Fedele, Toveda and Oltracqua. Roveredo and his surroundings were assigned to the Misox High Court and went to the barons of Sax as a fief no later than the 11th century . The village de Regoredo was first mentioned in 1219 , later Rofle in German . In 1480 Johann Peter von Sax sold the Misox estate to Gian Giacomo Trivulzio . He had the seat of the Lords of Sax, now Palazzo Trivulzio, which had already been renovated once in 1335, renovated and fortified and set up a mint in Roveredo.

Ecclesiastically the village was originally subordinate to the San Vittore GR monastery. The church of S. Giulio, known since 1219, became a parish church in 1481. The church of S. Antonio from 1350 was enlarged in 1620, the Madonna del ponte chiuso or S. Anna was enlarged in 1524 and enlarged in the 17th century in the baroque style.

In 1549 the reformer Giovanni Beccaria , who was expelled from Locarno , came here and to Mesocco , where he was able to work as a teacher, preacher and reformer until 1555. Then he moved into exile in Zurich with the evangelical refugees. In 1559 he returned to Misox and resumed his preaching work, but in 1561 he was banished from there due to Catholic interventions as part of the Counter-Reformation . He fled to the more tolerant city of Chiavenna and in 1571 to Bondo GR , where he was able to work as a reformed pastor.

From 1500 to after 1700 a number of artists, architects, plasterers and painters came from Roveredo, who were mainly active in German states and Austria. A first school was established in 1572. In 1583 Carlo Borromeo founded the Jesuit College, which only existed for a short time. From 1747 to 1853 there was the Gymnasium de Gabrieli, and the College of S. Giulio, later called S. Anna, opened its doors in 1855. The village is the seat of a high school as well as the district and district court.

Monte Laura, which is 1380 meters above sea level, became a popular summer vacation spot in the 20th century. The railway line from Bellinzona to Mesocco , which was built in 1907, ceased operations in 1972. In the 1960s, the A13 motorway was laid through the middle of the residential area and separated Roveredo into two parts until 2016, when the bypass road leading south of Roveredo through a tunnel was opened.

At the end of 2004 the town had 2,229 residents, 1,882 (= 84.47 percent) of them were Swiss nationals.

traffic

Roveredo had been divided into two parts by the A13 motorway since 1969 . Since November 7, 2016, the town has been bypassed to the south by a 5.6-kilometer new line, including a 2.3-kilometer tunnel.

politics

Community politics in Roveredo has been shaped since 2007 by the confrontation between the center-right parties FDP and CVP on the one hand and the SP, SVP and the protest movement “Nuove Risorse” on the other. Because the municipal government has been largely incapable of action since 2012 due to the quarrel between the two political camps, Roveredo has been administered since 2013 by a commissioner appointed by the cantonal government, Lorenzo Anastasi.
