There are very nice and original villages in Ticino (south Switzerland) with a tuch of Italian style and the cleanliness and infrastructure of Switzerland.
 Ascona, Ronco, Arcegno and the villages in the valleys are like a picture postcard.
Any corner is worth a painting.
Come and have a look to this nice region around the Lago Maggiore and see my photos, which are brilliant, especially in the original size of 1024 x 768 px.
