Ticino
Land of artists
The mediterranean atmosphere of the “Sonnenstube” of Switzerland, the southern light, and the inspiration that lies, quite literally, in the air, have from time immemorial attracted interesting people from every corner of the globe. The life that was lived on Monte Verità almost one hundred years ago has become a part of the history of the Ticino.
The International Film Festival of Locarno, the Dimitri School and Theatre in Verscio, the world famous Ticino Architecture with its Academy, the Music Festivals of Ascona, Jazz Ascona, Magic Blues and Irish Folk, the Museums and other institutions and events, all support the cultural life of the Ticino.
