Ticino is traditionally a land of artisans and artists

Corriere del Ticino, Romina Borla, 29

"Ticino is traditionally a land of craftsmen and artists" likes to repeat Claudio Gianettoni, vice-president of the Aticrea association, coordinator of the "Giornate dei mestieri d’arte in Ticino" which will be held from April 5 to 7. . "As the American sociologist Richard Sennett maintains, the craftsman is the one who knows how to create an object through his ingenuity and his manual skill. He does not undertake to produce the maximum possible but to do it in the right way.

The activities that revolve around the building, such as the art of preparing and assembling blocks of stone in dry stone walls, constitute the sector par excellence of Ticino craftsmanship.
