Onsernone

The emblem is still the same as on its creation in 1995. Probably the bridge with three arches symbolized the merger of the originally three communes.

Onsernone in the Onsernone valley was formed in two steps by the merger of different communes. In 1995 the communes of Comologno, Crana and Russo formed the new commune of Onsernone. On 10 April 2016 Onsernone incorporated Gresso, Mosogno, Vergeletto and Isorno (which on its part was created by the merger of Auressio, Berzona and Loco in 2001), and became the only commune in the valley (see below).
