The Southern part of the Town became an imperial Fief by Emperor Otto during the Middle Ages. In 1622 Giacomo III Mandelli - count of Southern Maccagno - got from the emperor Ferdinand II of Habsburg the privilege to mint coins in its fief.

Maccagno is located by the lake shore of the Lake Maggiore, on the east side. Not far from the town center there is a cliff that is used for rock climbing activities. The cliff is called "Il Cinzanino" and it is managed by the Club Alpino Italiano, departement of Luino.
