History
In 1957 there was a constitutional crisis named Fatti di Rovereta (the Rovereta affair), in which the Grand and General Council was deliberately rendered inquorate to prevent the scheduled election of Captains-Regent. A provisional government was established in the village, in opposition to the outgoing Captains-Regent whose term had expired.
