biography

Sebastiano Beroldingen was born as the son of the doctor Sigismondo Beroldingen von Mendrisio and the Lodovica Maderni. After studying mathematics at the University of Pavia , his entry visa to Lombardy was revoked because of his liberal ideas . When he returned to Mendrisio, he worked as a public civil engineer on behalf of the Ticino government. With solid liberal-radical principles, he was a State Councilor (1849-1852 and 1855-1858) and Council of States (1856-1857 and 1860-1861).

From 1852 to 1855 he held important positions in the federal administration as inspector of the Telegraph Federation and from 1858 to 1865 as director of the tasks for District 4. Together with National Councilor Georg Joseph Sidler, he negotiated with the Austrian government in March 1855 to lift the border barrier and re-admit the numerous Ticino emigrants who had been deported from Lombardy. In 1857 he ran unsuccessfully as a Federal Councilor .

Beroldingen was one of the initiators of a project to develop silk weaving in the canton of Ticino, president of the Società Demopedeutica (Association for Popular Education) and the shooting society , as well as vice-president of the Società democratica popolare ticinese . In the military he was a captain during the Sonderbund War and battalion commander in 1857.
