Update: Campione formally became part of the EU customs territory on 1 January 2020 and a border crossing was established. Moreover, the casino (the biggest in Europe, by far) was declared bankrupt on 27 July 2018 and is currently closed. Most jobs were lost and the question is still before Italian tribunals. Campione is today almost a ghost town.

I used to live in Lugano. You're playing fast & loose here when describing Campione d'Italia. It's definitely no "Mini-Monaco". Yes, it has a casino and it's an enclave of Italy on the shores of Lake Lugano, but it's boring as hell and the only reason to go there is to get late night pizza when everything else is closed in Switzerland. It's mainly just a lot of residences. You showed the wrong type of license plate they use (Yes, it's Swiss, but it would be the Ticino plate!), and none of your other stock Swiss photos were from Ticino either, since none of them were in Italian. Campione does look Italian, as it has Italian flags, police and signage, but all of that area looks pretty much the same on both sides of the border (except the Swiss side is cleaner and better made). Seriously, Campione is not a glamorous place full of beautiful people, like Monaco. It's hardly worth the trip across the lake to visit.

Come on, apply yourself! There are a lot of fun facts about Campione you should have mentioned. Campione has the lowest crime rate of basically all Europe, with virtually no violent crime ever recorded. Also an astounding one fifth of the population work in the Casino, which is (I had a chance to speak with some workers there last year) actually not going really well economically speaking, and this is a problem because layoffs there have an actual noticeable impact on the local population. I also read somewhere that Campione has the highest amount per capita of luxury cars of Europe, but I can't find the source right now. Campione is such an iconic town for my beloved country: it's a place where you can bet your ass everyone evades taxes but nobody will actually do anything about it because it's all controlled by organised crime (think mafia).

yea is almost correct. The taxation in Campione is reduced (as in Livigno, another italian enclave). The historical part skip over some passages (but it's ok for a 5 minutes video) : Campione was never under the Pope: was a feud of the HRE, then conquered by Napoleon, then under the Austrian Empire in the Lombardo - Veneto reign, till the second italian independence war and the annexation to Piedmont, and then Italy

Also: gambling is not illegal in Italy. Is regulated, but you have slot machines in almost every bar. There are Casinos at Saint Vincent, Sanremo, and Venice, and you can also gamble online.

The interesting thing is that during WWII, CIA was stationing in this town, with a knowledge of Switzerland, and was a base for spying operations in Italy. That was because Fasict regime of Italy didn't actually fully control the area, and because Swiss were ignoring their presence as long as they have plausible deniability.

Here is the general pattern of each HAI video: completely random question asked that no one wanted the answer to, and integrating comedy for the sake of time on the video, followed by an actual explanation of what the video's topic is about. This is followed by an optional history section, and a required pretty lengthy tangent. After he realizes he actually needs to start talking about the video, the explanation resumes, with another possible micro-tangent in between the actually relevant info. Finally, a really corny transition to the ad, add a healthy dose of "jokes," and you got yourself a video.
