Ticino’s famous avant-garde architecture scene and Attilio Panzeri

Posted Wed Feb 18 15:39:00 UTC 2009

Ticino in southern Switzerland is not only famous for its Mediterranean climate and lifestyle around the three lakes, but also for its architecture scene. Michele Arnaboldi, Roberto Briccola, Raffaele Cavadini, the Guidotti siblings or the Tognola brothers, just to name a few, belong to a group of fresh, young and talented architects who continue the success story written by their famous predecessors like Mario Botta, Aurelio Galfetti, Luigi Snozzi and Livio Vacchini. Another talented architect is Attilio Panzeri who is living and working in Lugano. He has been president of the Ticino section of the “Architects society (SIA)” for many years and found a perfect piece of land in Lugano, where he built his own residence which reflects his sense for space and indoor-outdoor living in the typical style of the famous Ticino architecture school. Now, you can become owner of a very spectacular example of its work. Wetag Consulting listed one of its latest work - a modern luxury villa in Lugano with great view of Lake Lugano. The villa stretches over two main floors boasting almost 565sq.m (6100sq.ft) of living plus guest house what could be used as an office as well. Please contact us if you wish to receive further information on that rare trophy property.

Brissago – its history and the “English Picasso”

Posted Fri Nov 07 15:33:00 UTC 2008

The first terraced constructions in the area of where Brissago is today were documented as far back as around 1,000 BC. At that time, Ligurians and Celts had major settlements in that region. The Romans brought with them a different culture that included new cultivated plants (such as grapes, chestnuts and nuts), which later gained great economic significance and gave this spot a Mediterranean touch. As a place of “poetry which I would like to find in my painting”, that’s how the famous English painter Ben Nicholson (1894 – 1982) called the piece of ground above Brissago, the place where he built its beautiful home, which became his personal and professional residence for many years. As a son of artist he visited art schools in Norfolk and London. The “English Picasso”, had been influenced by Picasso and Mondrian and counts not only as a splendid representative of Neoclassicism, but also as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. His former home in Brissago is still existing and almost true to original. It lies high above the subtropical lake in a marvelous park with rare mature plants, palms, olives, pomegranates, Indian figs and many more. The present owner, who is also a painter herself, restored this gem respectfully. It now can become your home and your atelier.
