Teatro Dimitri
Unfortunately, to the regret of many, since 2016, clown Dimitri’s jokes and art is up in heaven. However, his theatre and the “Dimitri Academy” continue to receive spectators and students in Verscio. Shows are very often sold out. The applause is always overwhelming. Dimitri is still in people’s hearts.
Moon & Stars – Locarno Festival – Jazz Ascona
Every year the three “mega events” attract countless film and music fans to Lake Maggiore. For about 20 days the region gets a touch of glamour, Hollywood gloss and New Orleans rhythms. Enjoy the vibes and come back to the silence of the Parkhotel Brenscino Brissago to rest.
