It might not be the most eco-friendly gesture but it is has been a tradition for years... when the city's Christmas tree arrives by helicopter much to the spectators' delight.
This morning the tree flew over the Lugano lake before being carefully set in the center of Piazza della Riforma.
With the coronavirus, it will be a different Christmas than usual. However, there will be no shortage of Christmas trees and the many onlookers - big and small - could savour a first taste of Christmas 2020 today.
Lugano's iconic Christmas tree will now be decorated for the official illuminating ceremony on December 1st when the city centre will once again be transformed into a bright village, filling the festive period with cheer for both locals and tourists alike, in full compliance with the safety regulations in force.
