Exhibition 2024 "Varlin - Bondo, the Bergell and the World": 01.06.-20.10.2024
Varlin (Willy Guggenheim, 1900-1977) settled in Bondo in 1963 after marrying Franca Giovanoli, a local Bregaglian woman.
The Palazzo Castelmur in Coltura near Stampa belongs to the Bregaglia municipality. In 1961, the heirs sold the Castelmur property to the community and it was turned into a museum.
The Palazzo's architecture is a hybrid of styles. When Giovanni Castelmur (1800–1871) purchased the patrician Redolfi mansion, originally built in 1723, he added a facade flanked by towers in Lombard/Venetian gothic style; this was completed in 1854. The successful combination of old and new along with the luxurious furnishings are the work of various Milanese craftsmen such as engineer and architect Giovanni Crassi-Marliani, stonemason Giovanni Pedrazzini and painter Gaspare Tirinanzi. The remaining artisans came from the neighboring Lombardy region.
The interior design of the Mansion, although more opulent, is consistent with the exterior architectural style of the building. With the exception of one room, the wood paneling in the rooms located in the original Redolfi structure, are varnished or wallpapered. In the newer part of the Mansion, there is a lovely dining room, living room, red and green wallpapered bedroom and four small tower rooms. The walls and ceilings of certain rooms are decorated with wall paintings; the trompe-l'oeil are particularly stunning.
Permanent exhibition - Grisons Pastry Makers
Trade agreements between the Serenissima and the Free State of the Three Leagues, allowed for free access to the republic of Venice and the right to exercise free trade. Thus new professions were created, among them the one of the pastry maker. After their expulsion from Venezia, the Grisons “pastry makers” ventured all over Europe and set up business in countless towns and villages. What has come down to us, mostly concerns those who had been successful, such as the Redolfi and the Castelmur. Less well remembered are those that failed or remained poor.
Opening time June 1st, to October 20 - 2pm to 5 pm, Monday closed

Il Bed and Breakfast Pontisella a Stampa ha iniziato la sua attività durante l’estate 2018. Le stanze di una vecchia casa patriziale della Bregaglia sono state rinfrescate, rivitalizzate con nuove idee architettoniche e arredate con interessanti pezzi di design.
Come centro culturale la casa Pontisella insegue la filosofia dell’uso responsabile delle risorse e la responsabilità sociale ed ecologica, valori molto importanti. Fedeli a questo pensiero essi richiamano l’attenzione all’artigianato e alle specialità culinarie della Val Bregaglia.

From the summit you can enjoy a breathtaking 360 ° view. Despite its medieval appearence the building dates back to 1882. The castle was built as a personal residence by the eccentric Belgian Count Camille de Renesse who at the end of the nineteenth century dreamed of transforming Maloja into a popular tourist destination for wealthy aristocrats. The tower and the adjacent hotel, however, were only completed after the count's death, at the beginning of the twentieth century.In 1953 the castle was bought by the Federal Nature Conservation Society. The hotel is now in ruins, while the tower has become the emblem of Maloja.
In the summer, the Belvedere Tower has several exhibitions and you can visit the permanent Pro Natura exhibition entitled, "The history of the Maloja landscape: geology, flora and fauna."
There have been 36 glacial mills discovered in the the nature reserve that surrounds the tower.

Giovanni Segantini’s atelier is located in Maloja, the alpine village where the famous painter lived from 1894 until his death. The studio is across from the Hotel Schweizerhaus, on the way to the Belvedere lookout tower. The small round building is in front of the Segantini family chalet. Designed by the artist himself, the 70-meter in diameter studio is a true-to-scale wooden model of the Engadin Pavilion, constructed for the 1900 Paris World Exhibition. It was designed to display a huge picture of the Bergell and Engadin countryside on its 220-meter long wall. The work remained unfinished, but gave the impetus for the alpine triptych. The three paintings are the culmination of Giovanni Segantini’s artistic work, and are now on display at the Segantini Museum in St. Moritz.

Ueli Lüthi admires and loves nature, he idolizes the beauty, and as an artist, tries to play it in all its aspects.
In the past, he would hop on a bike to chase his passion. Today it is enough for him to wear hiking shoes to experience the colors of the meadows and the diverse shapes of the mountains.
The gallery is located in Borgonovo and you can visit it all year round with reservations. His paintings are for sale.

Romano Giovanoli, born on 3 June 1964 in Val Bregaglia. Married, father of two children and grandfather of three grandchildren.
“CÄVRA and FEDA” is my second exhibition after “AVVERARSI” in 2023. My initial works of night landscapes in pure realism, painted on acrylic chipboard. Still realism with a touch of symbolism, other works were born. In 2023, thanks to master Felix Stoffel, I learned the structural technique he created. With this technique combined with my realism/symbolism several of my works were born in 2023/24. Including the portraits of goats, flocks of sheep and more that I am presenting at this year's exhibition. New, some paintings are made on canvas. Virtually all indigenous subjects are part of our culture. Goats and sheep are fascinating and very intriguing animals.
The “Spazzacaldeira” project (31 paintings) in which I was able to immerse myself completely and with profound joy, in the recurring analysis of the same mountain. My range of motifs comes from my broad vision and my willingness to always strive to find new solutions and refine techniques.
I remember that in 2023 I opened the Panaläda painting school. In the place in Via Muntegn 3 in Vicosoprano I teach the structural engineering technique to children and adults.
