Summary "Le Tour du Monde; Lugano, la ville des fresques" by Various is a travel journal written in the early 20th century. This publication was produced as part of a broader collection documenting explorations and experiences in various geographical regions, focusing on Lugano's charm, its artistic heritage, and the notable presence of frescoes. The opening of this travelogue introduces Lugano as a picturesque town located by a serene lake, discussing its favorable geographic charms and the harmonious blend of urban and natural landscapes. The author highlights cultural landmarks, including notable churches and frescoes, and discusses the history of Lugano, touching upon its Roman past and development over time. The narrative emphasizes the city's artistic significance, particularly the works of the painter Luini, while also lamenting the neglect of its artistic treasures due to inadequate preservation efforts.
