Monteggio

Monteggio has served as a rural settlement in Ticino’s Malcantone area since the Middle Ages. Set on wooded slopes above the Tresa River, it lies close to Switzerland’s border with Italy and within the Italian-speaking part of the country. The settlement was long an independent municipality in the Lugano district; in 2021, it joined Croglio, Ponte Tresa and Sessa to form the municipality of Tresa. Its setting reflects Malcantone’s pattern of small hillside communities, vineyards and forested ground between Lake Lugano and the border.
