Map of the Ennetbirgischen Bailiwicks of the Old Confederation

The Pieve di Val Travaglia from the 12th century to 1797, one of the 65 administrative units of the Duchy of Milan . Between 1513 and 1515 it was temporarily under the rule of the Old Confederation . The term pieve , German for "parish", comes from the ecclesiastical division of the (arch) diocese of Milan and was adopted in the duchy of Milan until 1797 for civil administration. The Pieve di Val Travaglia therefore comprised some parishes which ecclesiastically belonged to the Diocese of Como and were ecclesiastically subordinate to the parish of Agno .

history

The Confederates occupied Luino in 1512 in the course of the wars in Milan and the rest of the Pieve di Val Travaglia in the course of the conquest of southern Ticino. At that time, the area was a fief of the Rusca family, a noble Milanese family . The area was made into a bailiwick under the name Luino or Luvino , although it continued to be disputed between the Confederation and the Duchy of Milan . In 1521 Luino fell back to the Rusca family, at the same time the municipality of Brissago definitely went to the confederates and was integrated into the Bailiwick of Locarno . In 1526 the Val Travaglia fell back to Milan in exchange for Mendrisio and Balerna together with the neighboring Pieve di Valcuvia . The confederates, however, remained the arbitration court between the Counts Rusca and the inhabitants of Val Travaglia.
