==History==
The area around Gorduno was prehistorically settled, though very little is known about the earlier settlements. The modern municipality of Gorduno is first mentioned in 1182 as ''medius locus de Gorduno''.<ref name=HDS/> It was first mentioned in the dispute between the churches of [[Como]] and [[Milan]], which was settled by the verdict of 1202. In the verdict Como received the little church of SS Maurizio e Carpoforo in the so-called Castle of [[Gnosca]], which, contrary to the name, was in the territory of Gorduno. The church was strategically located on the [[Ticino (river)|Ticino river]]. In the [[Late Middle Ages]], Gorduno was a municipality in the County of [[Bellinzona]]. In 1374, the municipality was combined with Gnosca and placed under the control of Podestà, a [[Canon (priest)|canon]] of Milan. This placed the church under the [[Ambrosian Rite]] of the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milan|Diocese of Milan]]. The village had completely split from the community celebrating according to the [[Roman Rite]] Church in Bellinzona by 1538-83. The [[parish]] functions moved from the Castle Church to the village church of SS Sebastiano e Rocco.<ref name=HDS/>
