Campione d'Italia is 80 km far from Milano Malpensa airport and 13 km from Lugano-Agno airport, is surrounded on all sides by Switzerland and bathed in the waters of Lake Ceresio, otherwise known as Lake Lugano. In centuries past it was famous in all the European Courts for its architects, painters, sculptors...whose works are still visible today in the area and also naturally here in Campione. In this humble village of fishermen and craftsmen, the traditional crafts of working with glass, leather, cloth, ceramics, iron and bread were practiced in the home. This way of life continued until the seventies when the development of the Casino absorbed all the energies of the local population who soon forgot their traditional welcoming and hospitable ways. The crisis today has complicated the road to rebirth, undertaken by a small lakeside community who have decided to return to their illustrious roots of the past, when it was enough to simply mention names such as “Bonino da Campione”, “Matteo da Campione” and the other Campionesi masters to instigate curiosity and wonder. MyCampione is a link, a “lifeline” that shows those on-line how beautiful and marvellous our town is and what it can offer to those who choose to make it their home, even if just temporally enjoying the life of ‘piazzette’ (small squares) and alleys that lead to its breathtaking lake and wonderful beach club.
