Becaària premiere competition

The film by Ticino director Erik Bernasconi is based on the novel by Ticino writer Giorgio Genetelli and was filmed here in the region thanks to the support of the Ticino Film Commission. To celebrate the premiere of Becaària, Ascona-Locarno Tourism, in collaboration with Ticino Turismo, is giving away three fantastic prizes: 

1. Two nights for two people in a superior room at Hotel Fusio, including a breakfast buffet 
2. Lunch for two people at Ristorante Medici in Peccia 
3. A gift basket filled with local products from the Val Magìa shop (value CHF 90)
