The name of the river derives from the name of the village Maggia. ~~==Marvel comics==~~ In the 1990s the river had a European record: the river that grew fastest during rains. This characteristic led to many tragedies in the past. One involved the collapse of a bridge connecting the old Maggia to Aurigeno and Moghegno which killed many people in the 1970s. ~~The '''Maggia''' is a great criminal organisation led by [[Count Nefaria]].~~ ==~~External~~See ~~link~~also== * [[List of rivers of Switzerland]] [http://www.ofima.ch] Ofima, electricity producer (website is in Italian/German).▼ ==References== {{switzerland-geo-stub}}▼ {{reflist}} ==External links== ▲*[http://www.ofima.ch] Ofima,] {{in lang\|de\|it}} electricity producer ~~(website is in Italian/German).~~ {{Lago Maggiore\| state = collapsed}} {{Authority control}} [[Category:Rivers of Ticino]] [[Category:Rivers of Switzerland]] ~~[[de:Maggia (Fluss)]]~~ ~~[[fr:Maggia (rivière)]]~~ ~~[[la:Flumen Maggia]]~~ Maggia is also a town in the Vallemaggia District of Canton Ticino, Switzerland .
