History

The process for union of the municipalities of Camairago and Cavacurta started in 2016. On 22 October 2017 a referendum was held which gave positive results.

A referendum is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is invited to vote on a particular proposal. This may result in the adoption of a new law. In some countries, it is synonymous with a plebiscite or a vote on a ballot question.

The following 28 November the union of the two municipalities was approved by the Regional Council of Lombardy. [3]
