Italian Switzerland

Newcomers to Europe, a little weak on their geography, might hear the names Lugano, Locarno, and Ascona and assume they're in Italy. The photos in the tourist brochures for this region certainly wouldn't set them straight: Nearly every publicity shot shows palm trees, red roofs, and loggias. But behind the wavering date palms are the telltale signs: the surgical neatness, the fresh paint, the geometric gardens, the timely trains, the exorbitant prices. There's no mistake about it--it's a little bit of Italy, but the region is Swiss at heart.
