Casasco d'Intelvi is a mountain village with 464 inhabitants located at a height of 822 meters. This area was already inhabited at the time of the Neolithic: the “cupelliformi” erratic boulders found in this territory testify precisely the presence of human settlements. Traces of the Ligurian period remain instead in the name of the village as, in the language of this ancient population, words ending in “asco” were very frequent. In 1335 it was part of Pieve d'Intelvi, while later it passed into the hands of various feudal families of the area; finally, it became part of the province of Como and the current name of "Casasco d'Intelvi" dates back to 1863.

Laino is a village of 499 inhabitants, its territory covers an area of 666 hectares and it is situated at an altitude of 671 meters above sea level.
It is located on a plateau between the Loria and the Ceresio mounts that contribute, along with various streams and the Telo Lirone river, to make it a bit more secluded and independent from the other villages.
It is certain that Laino was already populated at the ancient Romans’ time, as evidenced by objects found in the area, which are exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Como. The name of the town probably comes from the hamlet of Jno, founded by the ancient colonizer Jnus.
Later in time, a castle was built : it was an important center of defense during the barbarian invasions of Goths, Vandals, Alans, Ostrogoths and Heruli. The town took part in the ten-years war between Como and Milan and, at the end of it, it passed into the hands of different families, who already owned many other towns of the valley: Camuzzi, Trivulzio, Rusca, Marliani and Riva Andreotti.
The Conte Melchiorre Riva Andreotti appointed himself the seat of the General Intelvese Council and, during the period of Austrian ruling, the village became the center of operations of the Intelvese “Giovine Italia”.
