	Ticino, Switzerland \| Comunes of Italy
		For many years Ticino was the object of dispute between Como and Milan due to its commercial and strategic importance and was tossed back and forth by the militant diocese of Milan and Como, by the Guelfs and Ghibellines, the Viscontis and the Sforzas, just to name a few.
		Ticino remained under the domination of the sovereign cantons as a bailiwick until the end of the 18th century when it emerged from the revolutionary Napoleonic period as an independent and free Swiss canton (1803).
		Among these are the two lakes at the foot of the Alps where the Ticino borders on Italy: Lake Maggiore, broad and majestic, nestling among the last of the Alpine foothills, and the contorted and somewhat confusing Lake Lugano, which lies between the majestic peaks of Monte Bra, San Salvatore, San Giorgio and Monte Generoso.

	Ticino Switzerland
		The Italian-speaking canton of TICINO (Tessin in German and French) occupies the balmy, lake-laced southern foothills of the Alps.
		Ticino is divided topographically in two by the modest Monte Ceneri range (1961m), two-thirds of the way down: the area to the north is the Sopraceneri (“Above Ceneri”), that to the south is Sottoceneri (“Below Ceneri”).
		Ticino is known, too, for its plethora of ancient churches in hamlets and villages across the canton, many of them Romanesque and containing medieval frescoes, and most also featuring huge external murals of St Christopher, patron saint of travellers.

	Alto Ticino Switzerland (Site not responding. Last check: )
		By far the most pristine part of this sometimes tiresomely touristic canton, the region of ALTO TICINO (Upper Ticino) north of Bellinzona is a haven of wild, lonesome valleys cutting deep into the landscape on the approach to the high Alps, dotted with rustic stone-built hamlets teetering on steep slopes.
		As throughout the rest of the canton – though less obtrusively here – many of the original Ticinese communities, which laboured so long to scrape a living from the land, are now financially enriched, if culturally challenged, by the presence of many German and Swiss-German second-home-owners seeking refuge from the pressures of city life.
		You’d do well to check your planned itinerary with the tourist office in Bellinzona before you set off: although information and maps are much the same wherever you go, staff in the regional tourist offices in Biasca, Acquarossa and Airolo are less likely to be fluent in English.

		On October 2, 1998 the Swiss Canton of Ticino (the only Italian-speaking Canton of Switzerland) published its report on “Questions on Religious Cults”.
		Unlike Type I reports (France 1996, Belgium 1997, Canton of Geneva 1997), Type II reports (Italy 1998, Germany 1998, Sweden 1998, Berger report submitted to the European Parliament) take into account scholarly criticism of the anti-cult paradigm and do not include lists of “dangerous cults”.
		Although it includes some factual mistakes (for example, information on the Children of God/The Family and on the Unification Church is not updated), the Ticino report is a typical Type II report.

	Venice Commission - Commission de Venise
		The tendency of cantonal governments to assume what amounts to a proportional composition is one of the plainest illustrations of Switzerland’s special position in the relationship between the electoral system and the political system.
		It is part of the process whereby the cantonal executives are in effect constituted along proportional lines, although virtually all cantons stage the election of the cantonal executive under the majority system — Zug and Ticino are exceptions.
		Stability is still more pronounced in Switzerland, and by and large both federal and cantonal electoral law have only been amended in secondary areas since the proportional system was introduced for the election of the legislative assembly in the recent or remote past.
