Campione Italy Seeks Freedom From Mother Italy’s Shadow
Campione, a tiny casino town on Lake Lugano surrounded by Swiss territory, wants full administrative freedom while remaining under Italian shelter. Its casino nets about 1 million annually and funds the town, with mayor Tagliaferri pushing for autonomy and maintaining Swiss-like living standards. The town operates its own postal system and uses the Swiss franc, refusing to pay Italian taxes. The casino opened in 1918 as an espionage hub, shut briefly, and reopened in 1933 drawing tourists from nearby nations.
