The Viscounts - From Swiss to Spanish domination

The XIV century is characterized by a diffuse well-being which materializes in the passing of all the Como territory, Gravedona included, under the rule of The Viscounts. The accession to dukedom of Francesco Sforza in the mid 1400s puts an end to all the demands of the local large land owners on the duchy.
In this period many churches were built in the area, all enriched with precious frescos; examples of how ducal trade and local tax concessions were granted which helped to increase welfare. In this period important family names emerged such as Stampa, Casati, Curti, Canova, Sergregori.

During the XVI century well-being continues to grow favoured by a large number of immigrants moving down from the surrounding mountains to the low lands and also to the south of Italy; at the same time the area suffers floods and the destruction of war. Firstly the French and then the Swiss repeatedly devastate the area until the arrival of the Spanish who cede the area of the Tre Pievi (Three Parishes) to Tolomeo Gallio, citizen of Como, but however maintain power and build a base for military operations against the Grigioni of Valtellina.
