==History== thumb|Aerial view (1950) Neggio is first mentioned in 807 as Nego. In 1335, it was mentioned as Negio. Tombs from the 3rd to 4th centuries suggest that there was a Roman settlement near the modern village. In the 15th century it was mentioned as a separate Vicinanza. In 1611, it split from the parish of Agno. Since 1938, there has been a small community of Dominican nuns. In January 1944, they housed Edda Ciano, the daughter of Benito Mussolini, along with her children.
