The Culture Division of the City of Lugano promotes the preservation and enhancement of the city's cultural heritage and supports the cultural operators and institutions of the area. The Sviluppo culturale (Cultural development) portal is its public tool: a map of the city's cultural life.
It brings together 184 operators, 19 spaces, 6 resources and 2 projects, from LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura to the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana, from libraries to theatre companies, from choirs to the associations that look after the memory of the area. Operators can be filtered by field (performing arts, visual arts, cinema, literature, music, cultural heritage, sciences and others) or found with simple and advanced search. Each record presents the operator with a text, images, the website and the spaces where they work, with the address on the map.
The portal is part of a family of City websites, together with Patrimonio culturale, Mappe di comunità and Cultura e salute. It was developed by OFFICINEBIT.CH.
