New Cisalpine Celtic inscriptions from Canton Ticino (CH)

A presentation of two hitherto unpublished Cisalpine Celtic graffiti from Ticino, Switzerland (LexLep TI·55 and TI·56). During an autopsy trip to Ticino, Switzerland, for the research project Celtic Language and Identity in Northern Italy and the Alpine Region in October 2023, I was shown two unpublished graffiti, written in the Lepontic alphabet, from find places in the canton – one in storage at the Ufficio cantonale dei beni culturali in Bellinzona, one on exhibition in the Museo Castello di Monte-bello. The present short paper presents the inscriptions, which have also been included in the digital edition Lexicon Leponticum (LexLep) with the sigla TI·55 and TI·56.
