In the
Napoleonic era the municipality of Parè was suppressed and united toGironico (also municipalities ofDrezzo and Montano were aggregated to it). The union lasted until 1816 when the previous municipalities were restored.In 1928 the municipalities of Parè,
Drezzo andCavallasca were united into a single municipality calledLieto Colle (name inspired byMargherita Sarfatti , the lover ofBenito Mussolini who had a palace in Cavallasca). The town hall was in Parè. After the end of Fascism, the discontent against the union grew, but only in 1956 the municipality of Lieto Colle was suppressed and the three municipalities of Parè, Drezzo and Cavallasca restored.Famous natives
