Canton of Ticino

The Swiss Canton of  Ticino

              Campione d'Italia - Exclave of Italy in Switzerland


Ticino  A very beautiful Canton of Switzerland.  What do I find interesting?
1) Nicknamed 'Sonnenstube' or Sun Porch of Switzerland.  (Sunshine State)
2) 1000+ square miles.  Bit bigger than Leicestershire and Rutland.
3) Only all Italian speaking Canton.
4) Second biggest party is the Ticino League, and right wing nationalist isolationist party.  
5) Last Canton to come into Switzerland in about 1512.  
6) Campione d'Italia is an exclave of Italy, part of the province of Como.  Population of just under 2000.
