The village was first mentioned in 1126 as Castellano. According to tradition, it was built on a Roman fortification, the existence of which is indicated by the old place name Castellano, which was used until the 18th century, and the compact structure of the once fortified town center. The municipality includes the hamlets of Magliasina and Torrazza. After bitter battles with the municipality of Lavena Ponte Tresa, the latter was finally awarded the village in the Treaty of Varese concluded between the federal towns and the Duchy of Milan in 1604
