Economy

Tourism based on the attractions of Lake Mergozzo, nearly all of which falls within the commune’s territory, forms the principal basis of the local economy. Next in importance is the quarrying and working of stone. The famous pink marble of Candoglia, which was employed in building the Duomo di Milano from the fourteenth century on, is still extracted; the stone of Montorfano is exported throughout the world. Finally there is a significant agricultural sector.Regione Piemonte, Direzione Pianificazione Risorse Idriche, PIANO DI TUTELA DELLE ACQUE (D.Lgs. 152/99) REV. 01 LUGLIO 2004: MERGOZZO (Google cache[1])
