Profound changes in our society have altered the relationship between man and nature. In recent decades human activity has become concentrated in the urban areas of our society.

The rural parts of Ticino, a land rich in history and importance, often were abandoned since the peasants could no longer make an economical living off the land in these mountains.

However, today we are rediscovering that nature, landscape, and history are important resources. Our challenge is to make the high hills of Monte Carasso valuable again.

This project will scrupulously respect the historical, natural, and scenic values of the land, but with an eye to the future, not the past.
