The municipality has long been the principal town of the district. In 1858, the municipality of Linescio was separated from it. Chancellor Giovan Angelo Franzoni, who was in power for 36 years, built himself a Patrician palazzo outside the center of Cevio.

Linescio
Linescio is a municipality in the district of Vallemaggia in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland. History Linescio is first mentioned in 1437 as ''Lignazio''. In 1602 it was mentioned as ''Linezio''. The parish church of S. Remigio was built in 1640 and rebuilt in 1817-19. In 1757, it split away from the parish of Cevio to become its own parish. The slopes around the village were heavily terraced, creating most of the farm land for the village. Rye, hemp, flax and later potatoes were grown on the terraces. As a result of emigration out of Switzerland in the 19th Century and emigration to the cities after 1950, most of the fields, meadows and pastures were abandoned. In 2000, no one in Linescio worked in agriculture. On the right side of the valley, there is some mining. At the beginning of the 21st Century a project was developed to save the terraces from decay.

Districts Of Ticino
Subdivisions of the canton of Ticino, Switzerland, are the 108 ''comuni'' (and the 25 quarters of the municipality of Lugano) grouped into 38 ''circoli'', which in turn form a part or the whole of one of the eight districts. Districts and circles The eight districts (''distretti'') are historic and are maintained by the constitution of the Republic and Canton of Ticino. Leventina was a subject of the canton of Uri until 1798, the year the Helvetic Republic was founded, when it became part of the new canton of Bellinzona along with the Swiss condominiums of Bellinzona, Riviera and Blenio. The condominiums of Locarno, Lugano, Mendrisio and Vallemaggia became part of the new canton of Lugano in 1798. These two cantons formed into one canton — Ticino — in 1803 when it joined the (restored) Swiss Confederation as a member canton. The former condominiums and Leventina became the eight districts of the canton of Ticino. The circles (''circoli'') in the present era, similar to t ...
