Canobbio is a municipality in the circolo Vezia of the district of Lugano in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland.
==History== Roman era inscription and cremation graves from the 3rd Century AD indicate that there was an earlier settlement near the modern village. Canobbio is first mentioned in 712 as Canobli. During the Middle Ages it was a farm of the Abbey of S. Ambrogio in Milan. The Church of S. Siro, is first mentioned 863. It belonged to the Abbey of San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro in Pavia. The settlement of Conago is first mentioned in 1335 along with its church of San Silvestro. The Humiliati monastery of S. Caterina in Lugano also owned land in Canobbio. In 1472 the village church in Canobbio separated from the mother church in Lugano (1472) and was incorporated in the parish of Comano. It became an independent parish in 1643.
