Berzona facts for kids
Berzona is a small village located in the canton of Ticino, which is a part of Switzerland. For a long time, Berzona was its own independent municipality. Think of a municipality like a small town or area that has its own local government and makes its own rules.
However, in 2001, Berzona joined together with two nearby villages, Auressio and Loco. They all merged to create a new, larger municipality called Isorno. This means they now share one local government for all three villages.
