History
Since 1335, the territory of Dosso del Liro was known as part of the parish of Gravedona, with which it shared various events. In the 18th century, the municipality expanded to Alpe di Camedo and, during the Napoleonic period, was aggregated to Traversa and then to Peglio, only to be returned to its autonomy in 1948.

Our coat of arms and flag, approved in 1998, symbolize Lake Como, the surrounding mountains, and the territory of the Three Parishes with its colors.
