Maccagno con Pino and Veddasca ( Maccàgn cun Pin e Vedàsca in Varese dialect ) is an Italian municipality of 2,450 inhabitants in the province of Varese in Lombardy .
It was established on 4 February 2014 as a merger of the municipalities of Maccagno , Pino sulla Sponda del Lago Maggiore and Veddasca , which took place following the outcome of a consultative referendum held in the countries involved on 1 December 2013 . The municipal headquarters was established in Maccagno.
History
The institution's founding act is constituted by regional law no. 8 of 30 January 2014, published in Supplement no. 6 of the Official Bulletin of the Lombardy Region of 3 February 2014.
In May 2014 the municipality received the zip code I-21061.
Furthermore, the three founding municipalities were themselves in two cases the result of an amalgamation process that took place in the fascist era , so much so that until 1927 the current municipal territory was divided into ten different municipalities, in existence since the Middle Ages .
The municipality is part of the Regio Insubrica working community, a cross-border cooperation body that federates some provinces of Lombardy and Piedmont and the Swiss Canton of Ticino .
Symbols
The new municipality had initially informally adopted the coat of arms and banner of Maccagno (municipal seat), and then equipped itself with its own weapon, granted by decree of the President of the Republic of 12 September 2018.
«Coat of arms of blue, on the tower of red, bricked in black, crenellated in the Ghibelline style of five pieces, open to the field, founded on the plain of green, flanked by two counter-prancing gold lions , all surmounted by three stars with eight rays of the same, placed in the band. External ornaments from the Municipality.»
The banner is a yellow cloth with a blue border.
The coat of arms brings together elements taken from the emblems of previous municipalities: the blue of the field and the red tower of Maccagno, the counter-rampant lions of Pino on the shore of Lake Maggiore and the stars of Veddasca.
