history

The village was first mentioned in 1473 under the then name Vescia and then Vezo 1496. Property ownership of the cathedral chapter of Como is attested in 1297 and of the Santa Maria Hospital in Lugano in 1392. Probably at the beginning of the 17th century, Vezia received the privileged status of a separate community (terra separata) of the Lugano Bailiwick, probably thanks to the Morosini family, who owned extensive lands there. Ecclesiastically, Vezia first belonged to Lugano, from 1571 to Comano and in 1653 became an independent parish.
