Locarno

Locarno (Ticinese: Locarn) is the capital of the Locarno district, located on the northern tip of Lake Maggiore (Lago Maggiore) in the Swiss canton of Ticino, close to Ascona at the foot of the Alps. It has a population of about 15,000 (60,000 for the urban area including Ascona). The official language of Locarno is Italian. It is the 74th biggest city in Switzerland by population and the 3rd biggest of the canton Ticino, after Lugano and Bellinzona.

The Locarno International Film Festival takes place every year in August in the city and, at night, on the Piazza Grande.

The Locarno Treaties were negotiated here in 1925.

In January 2004, the Italian historian Marino Vigano speculated that Locarno's castle may have been designed by Leonardo da Vinci.

History

Prehistoric Locarno

In 1934 in the vicinity of today's Via S. Jorio, a necropolis with 14 urn graves from the Early Bronze Age (about 14th century BC) were found. Some of the urns were directly buried, while others were placed in boxes of uncut stone. The urns contained, in addition to burned bones, bronze ornaments, which had some fire damage, including, bangles, hair pins with conical head and slightly thickened neck, rings and knives. Similar urns were also discovered in the district of S. Antonio, which was probably also a small cemetery. The ceramic and bronze objects date from the Canegrate culture (named after a large necropolis in the province of Milan). However, no traces of the settlement have been discovered.

O2 Academy Bristol

The O2 Academy Bristol (formerly known as the Locarno) is a music venue located below the ice rink on Frogmore Street, Bristol, England. It is run by the Academy Music Group. On 1 January 2009 sponsorship was taken over from Carling by telecommunications company O2 and the venue's name changed from the Carling Academy to the O2 Academy. The Academy which hosts club nights (capacity 2,500) and gigs (capacity 2,000) was opened in 2001, and was the third Academy venue in the UK.

The venue was originally part of Mecca Leisure Group's New Entertainments Centre and was an ABC Cinema. Opening in 1966, it included a dozen licensed bars, an ice rink, bowling lanes, the Craywood Club casino, a night club, a grand cinema and the 2,000-capacity Locarno ballroom with an illuminated ceiling. Only the ice-rink and the cinema survived, the rest being demolished in 1998 and subsequently the site given over to student accommodation. The cinema closed in 1996 and was converted into a nightclub in 2000, originally called Rock. Soon after, it became the Bristol Academy.

Like Rain

by: Charlie Landsborough

Give me some paper and a pen
And I will write you
The starry art of
Broken heart
Of golden dreams that fell apart
Behind the wall where sorrows fall
Like Rain
Give me some music and the moon
And I will sing
A ocean full of fallen stars
A landscape letter with this scar
Of cruel lies
Where on earth tried
Like Rain
I'm fallen and you know why
Cause like the sky you have me
And love me so
Then let me go
Like Rain
Build me a stairway to the past
And I will take you
Beyond the reasons to forget
Into dimensions of regret
Where memories sleep
And gently weeps
Like Rain
I'm fallen and you know why
Cause like the sky you have me
And love me so
Then let me go
Like Rain
MUSIC..
Give me some paper and a pen
And I will write you
The starry art of
Broken heart
Of golden dreams that fell apart
Behind the wall where sorrows fall
Like Rain
Behind the wall where sorrows fall
