EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled along the shores of Lago di Lugano in Switzerland, the picturesque villages of Castello and Dramo at San Mamete beckon visitors with their timeless charm. Circa 1907, this photograph captures a moment in history when the villages were still largely untouched by modernity. The image showcases the villages' quaint houses, huddled together on the edge of the lake, their red-tiled roofs reflecting in the tranquil waters. The village of Castello, situated on a rocky promontory, boasts a rich history, with its imposing castle ruins overlooking the lake. Dramo, on the other hand, is a peaceful fishing village, where the daily rhythm is dictated by the ebb and flow of the lake. The waterfront, dotted with colorful boats, is a bustling hub of activity, as fishermen prepare their nets and children play by the shore. The northern shores of Lago di Lugano, where these villages are located, offer breathtaking views of the lake and the surrounding Alps. The clear blue waters, fringed by lush greenery, create a stunning contrast against the rugged terrain. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty of this region, which continues to captivate visitors from around the world. The villages of Castello and Dramo at San Mamete, with their charming Italian character, are a must-visit for anyone exploring the shores of Lago di Lugano. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories and memories that have unfolded on these shores over the years.
