Sant'Antonio , in the Lombard local dialect Sant'Antoni [ˌsantanˈtɔːni] , is a district of Bellinzona in the Swiss canton of Ticino . Until April 1, 2017, it formed an independent political municipality in what was then Giubiasco district .
geography
Sant'Antonio covers the entire upper Valle Morobbia which lies on the border with Italy . The valley opens up to the Magadino plain , where the eponymous Morobbia river flows into Ticino near Giubiasco .
history
In 1912 an ax from the Stone Age was found in Sant'Antonio , in 1916 a grave from the earlier Iron Age with ceramics and pearl necklaces in Vellano, and in 1943 another four graves from the same era. The village used to belong to the medieval neighborhood (vicinia) and from 1803 to the municipality of Val Morobbia; In 1831 it became an independent municipality. It became churchly independent around 1680.
On February 29, 1888, seven people were killed in an avalanche in the Melirolo fraction.
On May 12, 2017, the post bus service to Carena Valle Morobbia was inaugurated.
Before the federal law on federal supervision of the forest police in the high mountains was passed in 1876, many Ticino forests were used intensively for the production of charcoal . After the Gotthard tunnel was opened in 1882, Lombardy began importing hard coal from Germany, which led to the decline of charcoal burning in Ticino.
On April 2, 2017, Sant'Antonio joined the municipality of Bellinzona at the same time as the municipalities of Camorino , Claro , Giubiasco , Gnosca , Gorduno , Gudo , Moleno , Monte Carasso , Pianezzo , Preonzo and Sementina .
