Two historic railway carriages on Piazza Grande to commemorate the Centenary of the Locarno Treaties

Before the Locarno Treaties there were other diplomatic steps. Among them should be mentioned the Peace of Versailles (1919) and before that the Armistice of Compiègne, signed on November 11, 1918 in a dining car located in the forest of Compiègne, northeast of Paris.

The cultural association Campi d'Arte proposed that the infopoint for all celebrations should therefore be housed in a vintage wagon and-with the crucial support of enjoy.swiss-was able to find and restore two small wagons dating from around 1910. Hotel Losone (Losone) and its director Diego Glaus are thanked for their concession.
The mail wagon houses the infopoint of the Centenary celebrations, a small documentary exhibition and informative panels, while in the other wagon there is a continuous screening of the documentary Locarno City of Peace by Jonas Marti (12', 2025).

Admission is free and the wagons are open from Oct. 3 to 26, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Opening: Thursday, October 2, from 6 p.m.:00 p.m.
