In the 17th century, it possessed 50 taxable fireplaces. By 1801, the population had dropped to just 40 inhabitants. Today, it is no longer inhabited all year round and serves only as a holiday village. Before Mogno was incorporated in 1936 into Fusio, it was part of Peccia, and the land around the settlement was shared between Fusio, Peccia, Prato and Sornica.
