History

Tresivio is a village whose origins go back to the time of civilizations Étrusques, towards the end of: the stele found in 1871, below the hillock of Calvario, and the Roman repertories are there to attest it.

In 1016, the village is named Trecive (of Latin very viae = three streets) and in 1022, it bears the name of Tresivi (of the lombard-Eastern word which means manger). The toponym of Tresivio is quoted in documents dating from the 11th century.

The conflict opposing the Guelfes (Guelfi) and the Gibelins (Ghibellini) (1125-1300) involved the decline of all the area, with many destruction of buildings.

At the end of the the Middle Ages (1395-1500), the village made important great strides, it was capoluogo (chief town) Valtellina, vast province, which included/understood the communes of Montagna, Faedo, Poggiridenti, Boffetto, Piateda, Laying, Sazzo, Castionetto, Chiuro and Castello LED' Acqua, under the control of the families Visconti (1395-1447) and Sforza (1450-1500): lords of Valtellina, and which during three years was controlled by the République Ambrosienne (1447-1450).

The archbishop's palace of As had great properties in the area, and each archbishop was to reside three months per annum in the Vescovile palate in Tresivio.

From 1487 to 1513, at the time of the second invasion of the Grison , the village is plundered and sudden news destructions.
It is only in 1620, following the revolts against the bloody Grisons, episodes (“Sacro Macello” = crowned butchery) in all the area, that the village was released by Giovanni Guicciardi (7/19/1620).

The devastations of the Peste in 1630 will be at the origin of the construction of the sanctuary of Santacasa which becomes the symbol of the devotion of the community of Valtellina to the Virgin Mary.

After the War Thirty Year old, and many conflicts in all the area, it is only in 1807, when Napoleon attached in an authoritative way Valteline to the République cisalpine, that the area knew, finally, a political stability.
