2) What was the role of Swiss art within the European creative community, in other words, what is its qualitative position?

A Swiss View On The American Civil War, Dr. Hans Rudolf Guggisberg
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
About a year ago, the Ticino chapter of the Swiss Officers' Society published a special supplement to tis journal, the Rivista militare della Svizzera italiana.

The success of emigrated Swiss cooks all over the world shows us that this …
