History

Name

It is believed that the original name of the city of Muggiò might derive from the Latin adjective "metulatus", from "metula", in turn a diminutive of the Latin word "meta", meaning height or mound, indicating its undulating conformation. The diverse etymology that the city has acquired through the centuries is known from the reading of ancient writings. Ameglao is the first inhabited place to emerge where Muggiò stands today.
