History and municipal structure
Caviano has been documented under the name Caviliano since 1258 and developed from an affiliation with the parishes of Locarno and Sant’Abbondio. In 1850, Caviano became an independent parish.
The former municipality comprised the localities of Caviano, Ranzo, Scaiano, Dirinella, and Monti di Caviano. Dirinella includes the border crossing into Italy. Through the merger that took effect on April 25, 2010, Caviano became part of the municipality of Gambarogno.
