A letter from the Collina
A carefully edited summary of the week in Collina d’Oro, written for those who live or work here—and those who still think of it as home.
From the archive
Stories, notices and practical information worth keeping after Thursday.
The council approved the PAC credit and the Municipio presented its first ideas for Piazza Brocchi: a long-term vision, not an approved project. Over the All Saints weekend, services at the cemeteries and a last day at the Hesse Museum, which closes until 20 March. A dry week ahead.
Two planning applications for dog areas are open for inspection; the sites have not been approved. On Friday, the Società del Picon Agra plans its autumn gathering in Bigogno, weather permitting. Also this week: football in Gentilino and the deadline to apply for after-school course roles.
Sunday’s chestnut gathering at Roccolo di Castell, the Dialoghi di Montagnola and Monday’s concert at Sala Boccadoro. Roadwork hours on via in Pasquée, new municipal notices and a free service in Viglio.
Carabietta’s autumn festival leads this week’s agenda, alongside poetry and Hesse, football in Gentilino and the Quartetto di Cremona in Montagnola. ATTE and garden-waste reminders, plus advance notices for 12 October.
The municipal table shows drought grade 0 in the listed areas. A practical guide to the CollinadoroCard and the separate municipal Saver Day Pass, plus garden collection, Hesse and weather.
The cantonal event on 18 September, exhibitions and readings in Gentilino and Montagnola, and the municipality’s new information chat. Plus the Montagnola forecast and dates for your diary.
