In fact, these countries sent diplomatic Notes to the Swiss Federal Council, in which they expressed their desire that a Gotthard Rail built. The Swiss Federal Council assented to these requests in so far as it invited the countries concerned to the International Gotthard Conference of 1869 in Berne. This Conference lasted from the 15th September to the 13th October, discussing a proposal of the Swiss Federal Council, based on the documentation which had been supplied by the Committee of the Gotthard Union (Project Wetli/Beckh/Gerwig) on the 22nd April, 1869. The deliberations closed with the approval of an International State Agreement, to be sanctioned by the Parliaments of the Subventionary States and to form the basis of the Gotthard Railway enterprise. Gotthard Railway Network. The State Agreement, ratified by Switzer- land in 1870, by the German Reich and by Italy in 1871, rested on the Gotthard Railway Pro- ject Wetli/Beckh/Gerwig, which provided for a tunnel between Göschenen and Airolo with a length of 14.920 km. (9 miles 477 yds.) and with the culmination point at an altitude of 1,155 metres (3,789 ft.) a.s.l. The proposed network consisted of the main trunk line Immensee-Goldau-Göschenen- Airolo-Bellinzona-Chiasso and of the direct branch lines (feeder lines) Lucerne-Immensee, Zug-Goldau, Bellinzona-Cadenazzo-Locarno and Cadenazzo-Dirinella (Swiss/Italian frontier- fäo«, c.f.f.

  • “La Via Dell'acquaˮ in Valle Morobbia Di Graziano Tarilli
    “La Via dell’acquaˮ in valle Morobbia di Graziano Tarilli L’utilizzazione della forza idraulica, forma di energia ottenuta mediante la caduta d’acqua attraverso un dislivello, è molto antica: si diffuse su larga scala nel Medioevo a partire dal 12° secolo. Lo sfruttamento industriale del cosiddetto carbone bianco per la produzione di energia elettrica iniziò alla fine dell’Ottocento. Il Ticino – in particolare nelle valli del Sopraceneri – è fra i cantoni che dispongono di questa risorsa idrica insostituibile, grazie alle abbondanti precipitazioni e ai forti dislivelli. Ai primi impianti di Faido (1889), Airolo e Lugano (1890) che producevano energia elettrica soprattutto per l’illuminazione pubblica, seguì Bellinzona. Nella città, da appena tredici anni capitale stabile del Cantone, dopo aver abbandonato l’idea dell’illuminazione a gas si considerò la possibilità di sfruttare le acque delle valli di Arbedo e Sementina, poi della Moesa. Alla fine si scelse di costruire un impianto idroelettrico nella valle di Gorduno, inaugurato il primo febbraio del 1891 e che rappresentò l’esempio di prima azienda municipalizzata del Cantone. “Da domenica sera, Bellinzona è illuminata a luce elettrica; il fausto avvenimento venne festeggiato con sparo di cannoni, musica e fiaccolataˮ, come riporta la “Gazzetta ticineseˮ del 3 febbraio. Al Teatro Sociale si svolse una serata di gala con la nuova illuminazione. Ben presto la struttura si rivelò insufficiente di fronte alle richieste di privati e aziende, fra le quali la nuova officina della Ferrovia del Gottardo, attiva da pochi anni. Dopo aver valutato diversi progetti, la città decise nel 1898 lo sfruttamento delle acque della Morobbia, valle laterale del Ticino che si estende dal passo San Jorio fino a Giubiasco.

  • The Simplon Tunnel
    The Simplon Tunnel THE SIMPLON STORY The commemorative stamp issued this year (1956) celebrated, strictly speaking, only the opening of the first tunnel gallery. The story of the tunnel, one of the greatest engineering feats in railway history, goes back to the year 1877 when M. Lommel, the chief engineer of the "Compagnie du Chemin de Fer", a privately owned undertaking, produced the first plans for the tunnel. The Swiss and Italian governments and private enterprise in both countries agreed, after many years of study, to finance the ambitious project for the building of a 19,803m long tunnel, the cost of which was estimated at the then fantastic sum of over 700 million Swiss francs. A state treaty was concluded between Switzerland and Italy on 25th November 1895 and on 1st August 1898 the first drill was put to the rock near Brig, on the north side of the tunnel. After 6 years and 208 days of almost superhuman effort, at 7.20 in the evening, the last hole had boon drilled - letting light into the tunnel on its south end. It was the 24th of February 1905, a date that made history. Landslides, flooding, avalanches and huge caving-in had been fought and conquered. On 1st June 1906 the first regular train service ran through the Simplon providing the shortest railway link between Northern and Western Europe with the South and the Orient. The First World War interrupted construction of the second gallery and it took many years until in 1922 the tunnel was completed, allowing for two-track traffic.

  • Annexiv-Waste Management in Switzerland and Ticino
    ANNEX IV - WASTE MANAGEMENT IN SWITZERLAND AND TICINO SWITZERLAND The Swiss Confederation, commonly known as Switzerland, is a federal republic made up of 26 cantons. Its capital is Bern and its population is about 8 million people. It is situated in Western Europe, bordered by Germany, Austria, Italy, France and Lichtenstein. Four official languages are spoken in Switzerland: German, French, Italian and Romansh. Other demographic characteristics of Switzerland are presented schematically in figure 1 and table 2. Politically, the Swiss Confederation is composed as follows. The federal constitution adopted in 1848 established the legal foundations of the country. This is one of the oldest constitutions in the world (Federal Chancellery, 2013). The federal constitution established the country as a direct democracy; therefore, citizens have the right to intervene in parliamentary decisions. Three levels of government exist: federal, cantonal and municipal. At the federal level, the parliament has the legislative power, the Federal Council is the executive and the Federal Court has judicial power. The parliament is composed of both the Council of States and the National Council, with 200 representatives in total. The Council of States has 46 representatives - two for each canton and 1 for half-canton. The National Council’s representatives are elected proportionally to the population of each canton. Modalities of election of the representatives vary within each canton. Switzerland is a very economically active and rich country. It has the fifth highest GDP per capita in the world (World Bank, 2013), and the majority of its businesses are from the tertiary sector. The most developed sectors in Switzerland are pharmaceutical and financial (with Zurich, Geneva and Lugano being the three biggest financial centres).
