Roman Age
There are evidences that the area of Solbiate con Cagno was already inhabited during the Roman Era.
In Cagno a roman tomb was excavated in 1976 and it was moved to the current graveyard, where it is shown today.
Middle Age
The name "Solbiate" appears in various documents of the XI and XII centuries, where a loco et fundo Solbiate and a Solbiate iusta Binnacum are cited.
Originally part of the Contado del Seprio, it became part of the Ducato di Milano from the XIV century until the beginning of the XIX century.
Solbiate is also cited in the documents Statuti di Como of 1335, when the maintenance of a part of the main road was assigned to the village.
Cagno was already a village during the Langobards period, during which the churches of San Giorgio and San Michele were built. Important for the period is also the chapel of San Rocco, built during the XV century.
During the XV century Cagno was part of the Odescalchi family estate. Later, Cagno was also part of the Ducato di Milano.
