Vacation Destination Reviews Europe Switzerland > Switzerland Culture Switzerland Culture A country with its own exceptional cultural customs, Switzerland culture is a blend of the mores of Italy, France, and Germany. The mixture of linguistic, literary, musical, cultural, and culinary influences from the three countries has guided the way for the conception of a Switzerland culture that is a fusion of aspects. Inspired designers and artists like Le Corbusier the architect and Alberto Giacometti the sculpture came from Switzerland. Albert Einstein had a job at the office of the Swiss patent while he was independently developing the Theory of Relativity. Over the years, Switzerland culture has developed into a distinct ethnicity with strong local differences. Conventionally, Switzerland is not deemed as one of Europeâs culture centers; however this insight may be a little misleading. Although some culturally active Swiss have opt to go abroad as the prospects in their country may have possibly been limited, as in the case of architects; Switzerlandâs neutrality has also attracted a lot of creative individuals from all over the globe into the country. Switzerlandâs strong regionalism makes it hard to talk of a Swiss homogenous culture. The neighboring partsâ influence of French, German, and Italian culture is undeniable, as well as the robust Rhaeto-Romanic culture on Switzerlandâs eastern mountains. | |
