A Man of Ticino re-fills his water bottle - Switzerland
A Man of Ticino re-fills his water bottle - Switzerland. Canton Ticino or just Ticino is the southernmost canton of Switzerland. The written language is Italian in almost the entire canton (except the Walser municipality of Bosco Gurin, where it is German). It surrounds the Italian exclave of Campione d'Italia. Together with areas of the canton of Graubunden it makes up the so-called Svizzera Italiana (Italian Switzerland). The elderly gentleman is in traditional costume, with a large woven reed basket on his back, ready to be filled with harvested foliage
