History
In the first century BC the Romans founded the garrison town of Campilonum to protect their territories from Helvetii invasions.In 777 Toto of Campione, a local Lombard lord, left his inheritance to the archbishopric of Milan. Ownership was transferred to the abbey of Sant’Ambrogio. Its status came about when Ticino chose to become part of the Swiss Confederation in 1798, and Campione's people chose to remain part of Lombardy which became a part of Italy in 1859. The d'Italia was added to the name of Campione in the 1930s by Prime Minister Benito Mussolini.
