Shopping in Lugano by Pamela Pintus
Lugano, being practically on the Italian-Swiss border, presents similar characteristics of Lombardy both in the territory, in the cuisine and in the culture. Today it is considered the third most important center of the entire nation, and one of the most beloved by us Italians. Its strengths are the view of the lake, the architecture and ... the shopping street! It is well known that in every self-respecting city there is always a main street dedicated to shops and shopping, as well as there is always a historic area that contains the most beautiful artistic and architectural treasures.
100 Years Bauhaus - Carl Weidemeyer in Ticino
Carl Weidemeyer is known above all as the architect of the San Materno Theatre in Ascona, which has been preserved in its entirety to this day, also thanks to the exemplary renovation completed in 2009 under the direction of the architect Guido Tallone, who has preserved all the valuable details of the building (e.g. its surprising internal polychromy). But Weidemeyer is also and above all a versatile and productive artist: painter, sculptor, printmaker, illustrator, graphic artist, designer of toys, furniture and other objects. A rich testimony to his work can be found in the Museo Comunale d'Arte Moderna in Ascona, which acquired the Carl Weidemeyer collection in 1995, a comprehensive body of paintings, graphic works, drawings, sketches, plans, architectural designs and written documents with a total of over 3300 elements.

The Daily Telegraph: Make the most of an Alpine autumn
Between the summer sun and winter sports, these Swiss resorts show off their multi-coloured beauty, says Zoe Dare Hall. Swiss resorts, like all Alpine destinations, are increasingly talked about these days in terms of their dual-season appeal. It's part of the push to get visitors and property buyers to see them as a summer destination as much as a place that's about hurtling down snowy slopes in winter. But the real star of the show is autumn. The vast, multi-colored land-scapes - and lack of crowds - make this the most Instagrammable of seasons, yet it's still something of a secret. Think deep, glassy blue lakes and flame colored trees, hazy sunlight that bathes the valley floor and white-capped mountains beyond hills of brilliant the green.
