Geography

Olivone lies in the upper Valle di Blenio. The area of the former municipality includes the Valle Santa Maria, flows through the one of two arms of the Brenno. Through the valley, the road passes to Lukmanierpass, the Olivone with the Grisons community Medel ( Lucmagn ) connects.

Neighboring communities were from the northwest clockwise Medel ( Lucmagn ) in the canton of Grisons, Blenio and Acqua Rossa in the Ticino district Blenio and Faido, Campello, Calpiogna, Mairengo, Osco and Quinto in the district of Leventina.

Fusion community

The Canton of Parliament on 25 January 2005 adopted originally by the spring of 2006 proposed merger of the five municipalities of the upper valley portion was delayed by an appeal of the municipality of Aquila. After the Federal Court dismissed the complaint in April 2006, the road to fusion was free. In Olivone, the largest of the five fractions, the central facilities such as municipal offices and school are concentrated.
