As a hamlet of the former municipality of Muggio, at 904 meters above sea level, Scudellate is a remarkable example of a linear settlement on a steep slope, with old terraced fields downhill and meadows uphill. The history of the population was marked not only by agricultural activities supplemented by emigration, but also by the proximity of the border with Italy, which has led to intense smuggling activities. The proximity to the border enabled Scudellate to develop a privileged relationship with the village of Erbonne, which is itself a hamlet of San Fedele Intelvi in the province of Como but is mainly populated by families original from Ticino. Scudellate and Erbonne are not only connected by an easily accessible hiking or cycling path, but also have a large part of their own history in common
