Hostess Agency Canton of Ticino – Italian-speaking staff from the Gotthard to Chiasso
THE GOOD STAFF serves as the hostess agency for the whole canton of Ticino – from Bellinzona and Locarno via Ascona and Lugano to Mendrisio and Chiasso. We provide native Italian-speaking hostesses and hosts with fluent German and English for the Locarno Film Festival, Moon and Stars, JazzAscona and corporate events in the Mendrisiotto. With Milan barely an hour away, our teams also support brands from Lombardy appearing in Switzerland.

Kanton Tessin
Ticino is the only canton where Italian is the sole official language, and its events are spread across several centres: Lugano as a financial and congress hub, Bellinzona as the capital with its three castles, Locarno and Ascona with festivals and lake tourism, and the Mendrisiotto with fashion, logistics and trading companies right up to the border at Chiasso. Milan is around an hour's drive away. THE GOOD STAFF provides teams from across the canton who combine Ticino hospitality with Swiss reliability.
For which occasions across Ticino are our hostesses booked?
In August Locarno becomes a film capital: the Locarno Film Festival and its screenings on the Piazza Grande attract industry, press and sponsors who need staff for receptions, lounges and accreditation. In July Moon and Stars takes over the same piazza, and in late June JazzAscona turns the lakeside promenade into a stage. In Bellinzona the Rabadan carnival brings tens of thousands into the old town, while the UNESCO-listed castles serve as a backdrop for galas. In the Mendrisiotto fashion and trading companies book staff for showrooms and retailer days, and around Lugano banking events and congresses add to the mix. Monte Verità in Ascona hosts seminars and conferences.

Ticino staff with Italian as their mother tongue
01
Italianità, bridging languages
Our hostesses grew up in Ticino, speak Italian as their mother tongue and work just as well in German and English – for guests from German-speaking Switzerland and abroad.
02
Close to Milan
For brands from Lombardy we are the bridge into Ticino: planning in Italian, delivery with Swiss precision and short distances across the border at Chiasso.
03
Both sides of Ceneri
Locarno and Bellinzona to the north or Lugano and Mendrisio to the south of Monte Ceneri – our staff live in both parts of the canton and arrive quickly.
