Ticino

He induced others to join him in experiments which were then innovations—steam mills, factories for artificial manures and the like—while the machinery and new methods introduced at Lairdy revolutionized farming in Piedmont.

One great scheme planned by him, an irrigatory canal between the Ticino and the Po, was only finished after his death, as the most worthy tribute to his memory.

He rose at four, went to see his cattle, stood in the broiling harvest fields to overlook the reapers, acted, in short, as his own bailiff, and to these habits he returned in later years whenever he had time to visit Lairdy.

Cavour's mind was not poetic.

Duty, brotherhood, policy commanded it.

Woe unto them if they crossed the frontier to find that Milan had fallen.

Russia, through her ambassador, intimated that she would regard the crossing of the Ticino as a casus belli.

The threat made less impression at Turin than the warnings of Sir Ralph Ambercrombie.

Too far.

but i did it to-day is just an ordinary day in retirement for her once we're dressed i offer her some cheese and crackers which she accepts with modesty swiss cheese is the best she ventures i agree with her she tells me she's from ticino on the border with italy where the lake and the water is so much nicer than here she says I struggle to imagine how that could be so, but agree with her again.

I recall a previous visit, when the closest I had gotten to Ticino had been when I'd bought some red heritage polenta, which is grown there, at one of the new food markets close to the old Laufenbrau brewery here in Zurich.

This bag of maize meal had gotten me pulled up at the airport security when I'd been leaving Zurich that time, fine grain making it look like liquid.

The young security guard had turned out to be a foodie who loved to swim, who loved Ticino, who loved her cheese.

She looked over my cheeses, approvingly decided they posed no risk to security and let them through.

She had also been firm about the Lake Maggiore in Ticino being better than Lake Zurich.

I would never argue with a security guard, nor my swim companion today.

There is also The Vivaldi Project, a period instrument ensemble based in the United States that takes its name from the composer in recognition of what its founders describe as his pivotal position between the earlier Baroque and later classical composers.

The Fondazione Accademia Vivaldi della Svizzera Italiana, based in Morlauto in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino in Switzerland, promotes music education with a particular focus on strings and chamber music in the Vivaldi tradition.

The Conservatorio di Musica Antonio Vivaldi in Alessandria in Piedmont is a national conservatory bearing his name, established in the nineteenth century and designated a state institution in nineteen sixty-nine.

It is also worth noting that an asteroid discovered on the nineteenth of October nineteen eighty-two was named after him in nineteen ninety.

It contains both pasta and potatoes, uh, and then onion, and the cream, and the cheese.

Then in places like the Ticino, which is adjacent to Italy, they use a lot of maize and polenta, uh, beans and pulses in their soups and stews.

They also ate meat, but much less frequently than we do today.

They would mainly use the grain and the dairy.

My English friends and I never heard of any others.

Does Russia propose to hand back Bessarabia and Lower Bukovina to Romania? Or the Baltic province to Germany? Why should not Italy wish to take the Ticino Canton from Switzerland, the Nice district from France, as well as the Trentino and the Triest from Austria? Why should Russia take Armenia? This is another indiscreet question, is it not? To all this, the answer is the same.

Any European diplomacy that is strong and cunning enough to get the soldiers of other nations to do their biddings will always reap the benefits.

A nation must remain strong in order to hold her conquest.

He did so want to venture forth.

So I slid for a dozen miles or more, sleepily, down the Ticino valley, sitting opposite two fat priests in their feminine black.

When I got out at my station I felt for the first time ill at ease.

Why was I getting out at this wayside place, on to the great raw high road? I did not know.

The old roads are wonderful, skilfully aiming their way.

But these new great roads are desolating, more desolating than all the ruins in the world.

I walked on and on, down the Ticino valley, towards Bellinzona.

The valley was perhaps beautiful.

So it's kind of compatible with the Swiss military because everything is based on the Swiss military training.

Even while we're in the Swiss Guard, we have... two months basic training although right now i think they change it to three months um but i'm talking about during my time it was two months and the first month happens in in rome in the vatican where you learn your new environment you know you you learn the about the new uh posts how to um behave how to do your duty you start learning the important persons and of course Italian it's very important today they offer one month or even longer linguistic stay in Assisi so you come with some knowledge in Italian and the second month we go back to Switzerland in the canton of Tessin which is the Italian speaking part of Switzerland and there we have training with the cantonal police And actually the police, the training is kind of based on the military service.

That's why you need to do the military service first.

But then the police is more, it goes deeper in the training, in the techniques.

Like, it takes quite a lot of traveling and logistics and stuff to get there.

Like, it's not crazy, but it's not like Ticino, you know? And then you have B.I.G., which just is very condition-dependent and gets wet a lot.

It's in the sun half of the day, which means you probably only get one try a day.

That's, like, pretty rough.

I watched the equestrian in Ascona.

I went to Ticino in Switzerland, and it was La Dolce Vita.

It was better.

Oh,
