It is almost 9 years since the last time I had the opportunity to visit Locarno. This is a beautiful city in southern Switzerland, located on the northern shore of Lake Maggiore. It is known for its mild climate, its Mediterranean air, and its amazing landscapes. Last night I took this picture in the Piazza Grande, which is the main square in the city center. I remembered that just on that occasion in 2016, I attended a screening of the movie "Lo chiamavano Trinità" in this square.

Last weekend we did a long weekend trip with my girlfriend to the Ticino region of Switzerland, staying in Locarno. I wasn't aware that the Locarno Film Festival was starting this week, and part of this event was a preview showing of a movie on Sunday night open to the public.

The organizers decided to honor Bud Spencer, one of the classic Italian actors from the 70's in the action-comedy genre who passed away earlier this year. They featured Lo chiamavano Trinità, one of the best examples of the "Spaghetti Westerns". I really enjoyed this movie! It brought back nice memories, since the movies featuring the duo Bud Spencer / Terence Hill were one of my grandpa's favorites.
