This place near the Swiss border was chosen by rich Milan people of the early 20th century to build their own summer mansions. In Lanzo d'Intelvi there are a lot of old luxury liberty villas still original in their aspects.^[4]

There was a train to go to the lake of Lugano and then to Lugano with the boat. This mountain train is going to be replaced with a new one, building again another strong touristic environment.
