	Ticino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Between 1798 and 1803, during the Helvetic Republic, the districts of Bellinzona and Lugano were separate cantons, but in 1803 the two were unified to form the canton of Ticino that joined the Swiss Confederation as a full member in the same year.
		During the Napoelonic Wars, many Ticinese (as was the case for other Swiss) served in Swiss military units allied with the French.
		In oral communication Western Lombard (Ticinese) varieties, although receding in favour of Italian (especially in the cities of Lugano, Ascona and Locarno and among the younger generations), are still well preserved.

	Lombard (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lombard variety with the oldest literary tradition (dating back to the thirteenth century) is that of Milan, where nowadays Milanese, the native Lombard variety of the area, has almost completely been superseded by Italian.
		Ticinese is a comprehensive denomination for the Lombard varieties spoken in Canton Ticino (Tessin), while the Ticinese koiné is the Western Lombard koiné used by speakers of local dialects (particularly those diverging from the koinè itself) when communicating with speakers of other Lombard dialects of Ticino, the Grisons or Italian Lombardy.
		The orthography is a compromise between traditional orthographies and a recently proposed unified system for all Lombard varieties, with phonetic transcriptions (when given) in IPA.

	m i p c conference: "the cultural industries and local economic development" session (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		By cultural industries we mean the sectors involved, not only then the sector of the big corporations in the field of communication and entertainment, but also many other sectors very important in the Italian urban economy, as IT, tourism, fashion, design music, food.
		Our research work started from a pilot study already published from which we drew the conclusion that Ticinese quarter has a strong potential to be a proper cultural laboratory for the future of Milano.
		All these factors should help the Ticinese quarter to be a cultural laboratory, that is to offer and sell a territorial identity rooted in history but open to the new.

		Cultural Enterprises in Milano and in the Ticinese Quarter
		If we generally agree that in the post-industrial era we cannot divide the economic from the cultural role of cities, the phenomenon seems particularly evident in cultural -creative- fashion quarters, which can be seen as an avantgarde in the field of cultural production.
		Moreover, in the absence of data, and because of the well known complexity (in terms of classification, turnover, etc.) of the sectors involved, the only possibility is to start with a particular area and try to reconstruct the past and the present of its cultural vocation.

	Religion
		For the Ticinese Swiss, the core of social and cultural life has traditionally been the church.
		Locarno's Piero Lafranchi, 81, recalled the devotion of his mother, who gave birth to of one of his sisters while in the high Alps where the family summered its cattle.
		Although a few Swiss clubs still hold social functions around the state, they are not nearly as well attended as they once were, in part because immigrant families have become "diluted" with other nationalities, Dolcini said.
