history

The community first appears in a document as Sezelino in 1335. The church of Sant'Andrea is mentioned as early as 1296 and was rebuilt in the 16th century.

Community merger

On November 25, 2007, the merger of the seven municipalities in the Vedeggio Valley was approved by the voters of five municipalities: Bironico , Camignolo , Medeglia , Rivera and Sigirino should therefore have merged to form the municipality of Monteceneri . Isone and Mezzovico-Vira rejected the merger. As a result, the State Council refrained from asking the Grand Council a compulsory merger of the two negative municipalities. Monteceneri was therefore only formed from the five consenting municipalities.
