Origlio is a municipality in the district of Lugano in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland.

History

[edit]

Origlio is first mentioned in 1335 as Orellio.[3]

In the Middle Ages, the village, was part of the valley community of Lugano. In 1484 it was ravaged by the plague. In the 15th century it was under the Duke of Milan, to whom it had to provide soldiers and weapons. Under Swiss Confederation rule, it was part of the bailiwick of Lugano. In 1803, after the Act of Mediation, it became part of the district of Lugano.[3]

The first church in the village dates from the 8th century. The church of San Vittore Mauro in Carnago was built on the site of this earlier church. In 1570 it became a parish church. A duty was shared after 1812, with the church of SS Giorgio and Maria Immacolata, which dates back to the 17th century. Its interior contains a number of frescoes and stucco work.[3]

The village economy was built around viticulture, silkworm breeding and farming. In the 1950s Orgilio developed into a residential and tourist center, which resulted in a population increase. By the 1980s the population had doubled.[3]
