<br/>
& we do indeed routinely risk life & limb here at bp<br/>
for the multipoints <br/>
such as chfrit<br/>
but you are the first to multiply so many & such<br/>
fortunate escapes from a common 2way border like chit<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; Cars here either <br/>
&gt; have Ticino plates or Italian plates, however I did<br/>
 </span></blockquote>photograph one <br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; car with an Italian plate beginning with CO, the<br/>
 </span></blockquote>code for Campione. <br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; It was the only such car I saw! (Am I correct about<br/>
 </span></blockquote>this, that CO is <br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; the licence code for Campione?)<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>well you may be correct because campione is in the<br/>
italian province of como<br/>
<br/>
& como is what this italian co code element stands for<br/>
<br/>
but more info would be needed to know if this car was<br/>
indeed at home there in campione <br/>
or just visiting from elsewhere in the greater como<br/>
area<br/>
<br/>
indeed according to one source <br/>
campione uses swiss license plates rather than italian<br/>
at all<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; I even <br/>
&gt; wondered whose bright idea it was to place the<br/>
 </span></blockquote>border along such a<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; steep mountainside in the first place. <br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>evidently either king victor emmanuel ii <br/>
who became father of italy in 1861 just before this<br/>
border was finalized<br/>
or else president melchior joseph martin knuesel of<br/>
switzerland at the same time<br/>

or perhaps only their respective chit border<br/>
commissioners<br/>

is the best i can do from here<br/>
<br/>
campione doesnt appear to have any major tripoints<br/>
as it is situated entirely within the lugano district<br/>
of the ticino canton of switzerland<br/>
<br/>
but it may have its own subdivisional tripoints within<br/>
itself or along its borders<br/>
for all i know<br/>
<br/>
indeed we have never considered if such as these even<br/>
exist<br/>
nor can i find any info on whether or how the<br/>
municipal administration of campione is subdivided at<br/>
this time<br/>
