Campione d'Italia, Italian enclave in Province of Como, Italy
This Italian municipality sits on Lake Lugano's eastern shore at 273 meters elevation, completely enclosed by Swiss territory in the Canton of Ticino.
The territory became linked to Milan's archbishopric in 777 when Lord Toto of Campione transferred his properties to the Sant'Ambrogio abbey's control.
The municipality maintains Italian administrative systems and traditions while integrating Swiss influences through daily interactions, services, and commercial activities.
Visitors need valid identification documents to access this Italian territory through Switzerland, where Swiss francs serve as the primary currency for transactions.
The Casino di Campione reopened in 2022 after a four-year closure, marking a new chapter for this territory that operated outside EU customs until 2020.
