(1) Outdoor cafes provide ring-side seats for people-watching on Lugano’s Piazza della Riforma.

Palm trees along
Lugano’s lakeside
promenade can be glimpsed
from the Piazza della
Riforma. People chat
amiably in Italian as
they browse the market
stalls or sip cappuccino
at the outdoor cafes. The
sights and sounds might
be those of the Italian
Riviera, but this is
Switzerland.

Lugano’s
Italianate environment
surprises visitors who
more often associate
Switzerland with nations
to the north and west,
Germany and France. Yet,
it is evidence that the
history, traditions and
climate as well as the
language of
Switzerland’s
southerly neighbor also
contribute to the
country’s
multi-faceted
personality.

Dear Savvy Senior
What resources are
available for researching
charities? My husband and
I recently received a
nice inheritance from my
mother and are interested
in making a financial
contribution but want to
be sure the money is well
spent. What can you tell
us?

A medical study of
elderly men and women
over age 75 concludes
what ballroom dance fans
have always known - their
favorite activity is
great for health and
happiness. The complexity
and moving with the music
lower the risk of
dementia, the researchers
say.

Dear Savvy
Senior I’ve
always thought it would
be fun to spend some of
my retirement years
vacationing around the
country in an RV. At age
58, my wife and I will
soon be retiring and
would like to
investigate this option.
What can you tell
us? Ready to
Roll Dear
Ready, The
affordability, combined
with the comfort,
convenience and personal
freedom it offers makes
RV (recreational
vehicle) travel
irresistible to
retirees, including a
growing number of baby
boomers. Here’s
what you should know.
