Crana is a village and former municipality in the district of Locarno in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland. In 1995 the municipality was merged with the other, neighboring municipalities Comologno and Russo to form a new and larger municipality Onsernone.〔(Amtliches Gemeindeverzeichnis der Schweiz ) published by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office accessed 14 January 2010〕 ==History== Crana is first mentioned in 1228 as ''Grana'. In 1265 it was mentioned as ''Crana''. During the Ancien Régime, Crana belonged to the ''Squadra'' of Crana which included the territory of Vocaglia, Comologno and Spruga, and was part of the old municipality of Onsernone. The modern village was created during the institutional changes of the Act of Mediation in 1803. Crana is known for the over 5,000 holders of ''heimatrecht'' in the village. The ''heimatrecht'' is similar to place of birth in other countries, and the ''heimatort'' is used on Swiss passports. A person maintains their ''heimatort'' regardless of whether they have ever lived in the municipality. The reason for the high number of ''heimatrecht'' holders is that the village sold the ''heimatrecht'', which conferred local citizenry (and thus Swiss citizenship) to help make up for the low village income.〔 The parish was created in 1787 when the village split away from the Russo parish. The Church of SS Peter and Paul was built in 1676. The present population is made up of retirees and commuters who work in the Onsernone valley and in the agglomeration of Locarno. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
