The document discusses the cities of Locarno and Lugano in Switzerland. Locarno is located on Lake Maggiore near Ascona and has a population of around 15,000. It hosts the annual Locarno International Film Festival and was the site of negotiations for the 1925 Locarno Treaties. A major attraction is the Sanctuary of Madonna del Sasso above the city. Lugano lies on Lake Lugano near the Italian border and has over 60,000 residents, making it the largest city in Ticino. It is known as the "Monte Carlo of Switzerland" for its warm climate and wealthy residents.
![• Locarno is the capital of the Locarno district, located on the northern tip of Lake Maggiore (Lago Maggiore) in
the Swiss canton of Ticino, close toAscona at the foot of the Alps. It has a population of about 15,000 (60,000 for the
urban area including Ascona). The official language of Locarno is Italian. It is the 74th biggest city in Switzerland by
population and the 3rd biggest of the canton Ticino, after Lugano andBellinzona.
• The Locarno International Film Festival takes place every year in August in the city and, at night, on the Piazza Grande.
• The Locarno Treaties were negotiated here in 1925.
• In January 2004, the Italian historian Marino Vigano speculated that Locarno's castle may have been designed
by Leonardo da Vinci.
• The sanctuary of Madonna del Sasso in Orselina above the city is the principal sight and goal of pilgrimage in the city.
• The founding of the sanctuary goes back to a vision of the Virgin Mary that the Franciscan brother Bartolomeo d'Ivrea
experienced in the night of 14/15 August 1480. The interior is highly decorated, and a platform gives a magnificent
view of the city.
• The Locarno–Madonna del Sasso funicular links Locarno city centre with the Madonna del Sasso sanctuary and
Orselina. From Orselina, an cable car operates to the top of Cardada, (el. 1,340 m (4,400 ft)), and a chair lift goes
further to the top of Cimetta (el. 1,671 m (5,482 ft)).
• Lugano (Italian: Lugano; Ticinese: Lügàn) is a city in southern Switzerland, in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino,
which borders Italy. The population of the city proper was 62,792 as of December 2013, and the population of
the urban agglomeration was over 145,000. It is the 9th largest city of Switzerland by population, the largest city in
Ticino, and the largest city with an Italian speaking majority outside of Italy.
• The city lies on Lake Lugano, surrounded by the mountains of the Lugano Prealps. Its warm summers and the fact that
in recent years it has attracted an ever growing number of celebrities, entertainers and successful athletes have given
it the nickname of the "Monte Carlo of Switzerland„.
• Lugano lies at the edge of Lake Lugano (Italian: Lago di Lugano or Ceresio), which is situated between the lakes Lago
Maggiore and Lago Como, south of the Alps. It lies at the heart of the Sottoceneri, that part of the canton of Ticino that
lies south of the Monte Ceneri Pass.
• The city centre is located on the lake shore just to the west of where the River Cassarate enters the lake. The city's
waterfront forms a crescent around the bay between the Brè (925 m [3,035 ft]) and the San Salvatore (912 m
