  • La Rivolta Capriaschese Del 1802
    La rivolta capriaschese del 1802 Una volta il Ticino non faceva parte della Confederazione Svizzera. Vi è poi entrato verso il 1500, ma come baliaggio (cioè territorio sottomesso ai cantoni della Svizzera interna). I ticinesi a quei tempi erano molto attaccati alle tradizioni e pagavano pochissime tasse. Nel 1798 arrivò Napoleone, conquistò la Svizzera, cambiò le leggi e alzò le tasse. Era una grande novità, era una rivoluzione! La gente, soprattutto nelle campagne, era scontenta delle nuove idee e si rifiutava di pagare le nuove tasse, perché non aveva abbastanza soldi. A quei tempi il prefetto di Lugano era un tale Franzoni, che il 25 gennaio 1802 decise di mandare trenta soldati armati in Capriasca per obbligare la gente a pagare. Quella sera stessa molti capriaschesi si riunirono in assemblee per decidere cosa fare. Il mattino seguente le campane della chiesa di santo Stefano di Tesserete suonarono per molto tempo: era un segnale d'allarme. Subito la gente si riunì presso la chiesa per vedere cosa stava succedendo. Alcuni uomini si spiegarono: volevano rivoltarsi contro il prefetto perché il nuovo governo faceva troppe spese e loro non erano d'accordo di pagare delle tasse così alte. Molti presero delle armi: attrezzi agricoli, fucili, pistole, schioppi. Nel frattempo però qualcuno era già andato a Lugano ad avvisare il prefetto. Mentre scendevano vi fu un rinforzo da parte di varie persone di Sonvico, in totale erano circa in duecentocinquanta. Arrivati a Lugano trovarono le porte delle mura chiuse, con dei soldati di guardia. Ci fu una discussione, e il prefetto Franzoni fece loro la proposta di lasciare entrare sei rappresentanti disarmati, e cercare di arrivare ad un compromesso.
