            Cannero Riviera ([càn-ne-ro]; Càner in the local Western Lombard dialect ) is an Italian municipality of 917 inhabitants in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola in Piedmont . It extends on the Piedmontese shore of Lake Maggiore . The nearby islands called " Castelli di Cannero " actually belong to the city of Cannobio , and are the northernmost Italian islands of the lake. The municipality is part of the union of municipalities of Lake Maggiore .

History 
Cannero appears for the first time in a property transfer document in 985 . But municipal independence came in the 14th century . In 1524 the Sforzas destroyed the town as it was a territory loyal to the Viscontis . The castles located on the small islands have a separate story.

The castle called Malpaga was a refuge for the Mazzarditi brothers and conquered by Filippo Maria Visconti . The other fortress called Vitaliana dates back to the 16th century and belongs to the Borromeo family. They were both then abandoned and given their inviting position they were used as a refuge for bandits and counterfeiters, and subsequently used again by the Borromeo family as a citrus grove and rabbit warren.

They chose Massimo d'Azeglio and Laura Solera Mantegazza as their residence in Cannero , whose homes can still be admired today. Present in the territory there are some sections of the defensive system on the northern border towards Switzerland , improperly known as the Cadorna Line .

Symbols 
The coat of arms was granted by decree of the President of the Republic of 3 October 1949. The coat of arms is silver, the castle is red, equipped with three Guelph-style crenellated towers, the left tower surmounted by the star of five blue rays; it castle founded on the countryside of azure, storm of silver.

The banner is a blue and white banner.

Monuments and places of interest 
Parish Church of San Giorgio
the current parish church of Cannero is dedicated to S. Giorgio and was built in 1836 on the site of the old church destroyed by a flood on 14 September 1829. The building, with a circular plan with dome, has elegant shapes and a very collected and finely decorated. The relics of the martyr Saint Faustus are preserved, transferred from the catacombs of San Callisto in Rome. The organ on the counter-façade, the work of Felice Bossi of Turin , is a wonderful example of nineteenth-century Italian organ building. The Bossi organ, built around 1850, originally had only one manual; in fact the echo organ was added only in 1897, by the Scolari organ builders of Bolzano Novarese . The conservative restoration intervention was expertly carried out by the Fratelli Marzi company of Pogno, which brought the valuable organ back to its ancient splendor.

Church of San Rocco
It dates back to between 1400 and 1500 and is dedicated to the French saint Rocco . The plan has a single rectangular nave, the interior was enriched during the 1600s with the construction of a choir and the creation of a barrel vault with plumes . The most valuable work is the balustrade that serves as an altar enclosure created by Viggiù 's workshop in 1786.
