There is only one inhabited island in all of Ticino, with the exception of the Verbano. It is located in Giornico, in the Bassa Leventina, which is connected to the mainland by two beautiful stone bridges.

The small inhabited island "Isola di Giornico" in the Ticino river in the Leventine village of Giornico is the only island in the river in Ticino. Two Romanesque stone arch bridges lead to the island and make a wonderful picture.
