Brè Village
• Illustration — Aerial recording of Monte Brè The village of Brè (800 m; population 300) lies on the eastern slope of Monte Brè and is connected to Lugano by bus service. The village shows the typical Ticinese architectural style. The traditional communal washing fountain or "Lavatoio" is still preserved. In the center of the old village is the "Path of Art" with notable artists. The Wilhelm Schmid Museum was the residence of the artist (1892–1971) and today contains a collection of his works. Schmid was the only Swiss painter of the northern Magical Realism style.
