Villa Garbald in Castasegna

 

On the main street of Castasegna stands the enchanting Villa Garbald built between 1863 and 1864 based on the project of the famous architect Gottfried Semper (1803-1879) and completed in 2004 with the addition of the «Roccolo» tower by Miller&Maranta.

Art in Villa Garbald

The establishment of the Villa Garbald seminar centre in 2004 also marked the beginning of a partnership with the Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur. Since 2005, "art facilities" have contributed to the charisma of Villa Garbald as an art venue. The current concept is to attract contemporary artists for specific projects and to strengthen Villa Garbald as a place for the exploration of photography. Each year, an artist is commissioned to develop their own photographic project for Gottfried Semper's Villa Garbald and Miller&Maranta's Roccolo, integrating their own work into the overall context in a specific way. The art facility can be visited by appointment or as part of a public guided tour. Small accompanying publications explain the concept and introduce the work of the respective artist. They are handed out to visitors free of charge at Villa Garbald.

Gallerie Palazzo Salis

Toni Weishaupt
 

Before settling in Soglio, he visited the mountain cantons of Switzerland, living in each one for eight months. Living there allowed him to get to know the local people and to intensively experience his favourite subjects: mountains, landscapes, flowers, everyday scenes linked to tradition.

With his exhibition, now Tony Weishaupt has found his home in Soglio. At Palazzo Salis, the works merge in a unique symbiosis with the traditional building and the oil paintings. Discover the new gallery through the eyes of the painter.

Where: Palazzo Salis barn in Soglio (left towards the garden)
When: all year round, if necessary contact (in German) the artist on WhatsApp (+41 79 563 02 61)

In the pavilion building, which continues to be used as a waiting room for the post bus stop, the SALA VIAGGIATORI (TRAVELERS' ROOM) has been created- an exhibition space under the direction of curator Luciano Fasciati. Twice a year, a wall display case will be used for thematic exhibitions dedicated to visual art, design and everyday culture.


Mondi costruiti (31.03.2024 - 13.05.2025)

We are delighted to invite you to the opening of the "Constructed Worlds" exhibition. The events takes place in all weathers.

Regional collecting culture
You can collect more than just mushrooms, berries or hunting trophies, panini pictures, stamps, stones, shells or air miles.
The exhibition shows a snapshot of current regional amateur collecting culture.
The aim is to highlight and possibly correct the preconception of down-to-earth folk culture and leisure activities. correct. The boundary between high and trivial culture should become fluid and an approach to folk and everyday culture should be made possible.

Museum Ciäsa Granda – Stampa

Ethnographic museum

 

Today a museum that attempts to reflect the people and the nature of this valley, this Ciaesa Granda (large House) is the property of the Societa culturale, who had decided in 1952 to preserve this imposing structure and establish a museum. A great number of dioramas show the fauna that inhabites this valley. Other installations show the crafts practised in the past and the present.

The special ambience of the imposing patrician house of the 16th century is enriched by a small collection of high quality paintings exhibited in the underground area that is used as an exhibition room . "The Stampa phenomenon" is part of the landscape and cultural heritage of the Valley. The collection of works of art by the original Bregaglian artists Giovanni, Augusto, Alberto and Diego Giacometti and by Varlin (who spent several years in Bondo), although modest in quantity, reflects, above all thematically, their intimate relationship with the Valley.

Opening time - CLOSED
from June 1st to October 20,  2pm - 5pm. Monday closed. 
From July 15 to August 31, 11am to 5pm 
Fee  Adults CHF 8.-, students and children CHF 4.-,

La Streccia

 

Their connection to Soglio and interest in historic buildings inspired Ugo and Elena Giacometti to acquire and restore a farmhouse and barn - owned by Elena's family for several generations - as well as to restore an abandoned smithy located nearby. The three buildings in Gassa d'la Streccia were opened to the public for the first time in 2017 with an open day. Since then, cultural activities, photo exhibitions and guided tours have been organized. Photographs are on display in the smithy, which is used as an exhibition space. The two-story building is accessible to the public from Easter to the end of October.


Opening hours and access

During the tourist season, the smithy is always open and freely accessible to the public. Caution and regard are requested. Children are allowed access only in the presence of an adult. Insurance is the responsibility of visitors; the owners disclaim any liability.
