History

Settlement began in the late 16th century (after 1500) following the clearing of forests by charcoal burners. Agricultural farms and scattered residences developed.

Major events:

• Pre-16th Century: The area was heavily forested.
• Late 16th Century: Deforestation and the beginnings of settlement with farms and residences.
• Early 17th Century: Construction of the first church in Marcoi.
• Later Period (17th-18th centuries, approximate): Development of mining (gold, mercury, sulfide, cinnabar). This period is not precisely dated in the text.
• 19th Century: Economic decline due to struggling agriculture and depleted mines, resulting in significant emigration.
• Post-WWII: Continued emigration, particularly seasonal work in Swiss construction.
