Lungolago is a fascinating walk that coasts the lake, winding its way up to the municipality of Paradiso. It was constructed, in several phases, between 1865 and 1918. With the completion of each section trees, pruned to grow into an open-umbrella shape were added to the avenue, there are 486 in all. The Belvedere garden, halfway along Lungolago, is is enhanced by numerous sculptures. Most of the artists are Ticinese. The sculptures are set in the middle of lawns and flowerbeds which are regularly replanted to reflect the changing seasons.
