Area protection area, initially a base of the First World War. Consists of a ring-shaped, roofed trench with two cannon loopholes, caliber 5.3 cm, which were later changed and adapted as loopholes for machine guns and light firearms. Four exits with stairs gave access to the upper part of the work.

Piazza Ticino is in the shape of an ellipse, a geometric shape that lends itself very well to expressing the idea that there is more than one central point. The canton has always had a bipolarity between the Sopraceneri and the Sottoceneri and a tripolarity between the main centres (Bellinzona, Locarno and Lugano). At one of the two "foci" of the ellipse stands the Totem Ticino. The material of this sculpture comes from the drilling work for the construction of the AlpTransit tunnel.
