Ticino was conquered by the Swiss confederates in 1798 and became a separate canton in 1803. On May 23, 1803 the local council declared that the colours of the canton were red and blue and the seal should contain a seal with a shield divided in red and blue. The minutes of the meeting do not clarify why these colours were chosen. | Ticino was conquered by the Swiss confederates in 1798 and became a separate canton in 1803.
