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.-,

I Bregagliotti - I Bargaiot a Stampa

 

An old basement of the Casa Stampa, next to the Ciäsa Granda Museum, houses an exhibition of personality of the Val Bregaglia. Biographies of people who are still active and of people who are now deceased are told. The first 7 films present artists, architects, administrators, lawyers, farmers, artisans, bursars, politicians, sportsmen and mountaineers, aothers will be added soon.

These are stories of those who have found a way to move forward in the valley, some creatively, others entrepreneurially. These are stories of those who sought their fortune in the rest of the world and of those who arrived in the valley and built their future.

La Streccia

 

The connection with Soglio led Ugo and Elena Giacometti to acquire and restore a farmhouse and a stable, which had been owned by Elena's family for many generations. An abandoned smithy with barn was additionally cleared out and rented. All three buildings are located on the Gassa d'la Streccia and are made accessible to the public through exhibitions and guided tours (in the future perhaps also as an alternative holiday resort). The aim is not to create a real museum, but to open the doors of these buildings from time to time, giving people the opportunity to see with their own eyes how people lived in Soglio until the beginning of the last century. In this way one can better understand the identity of the place.


Access to the buildings

The buildings can be visited every week during the summer as part of the guided tour "Once upon a time in Soglio… a discovery”. In addition, the owners open their buildings to the public occasionally or on special events. In this case is valid the free donation. The smithy is always freely accessible during the tourist season, in connection with the photo exhibitions (it’s better to visit it in daylight!).

Chiesa Bianca in Maloja

Exhibitions, concerts and celebrations  

 

Count de Renesse had the church built in 1884 according to the design of the famous Belgian architect Jules Rauh.

Construction began on June 16, 1884 and by September 16 of the same year the church had already been completed. Countess de Renesse then gave it to the Kursaal Hotel. It was then given to the Anglican community and in 1967 became the Catholic church of Maloja. When the new church of Maloja was inaugurated, the old church of San Gaudenz - as it was officially called - was deconsecrated.

It is now called Chiesa Bianca. It was restored thanks to a private initiative and is now a meeting place that hosts a variety of performances: concerts, book presentations, parties and celebrations. In the pretty little church were also celebrated weddings and baptisms. Next to the church is installed in summer a chessboard and every game, played here, in the middle of the enchanting landscape, is a wonderful pleasure.

Programme for 2024 will follow!

Giacometti Studio

After 1906, a small barn in the heart of Stampa was converted into Giovanni Giacometti’s studio. In this room, his children as well as his wife Annetta often posed as models for the painter. After Giovanni’s death in 1933, his famous son, Alberto, used the small studio. He regularly visited his home-valley and his mother during the summer months. Even today, you can still see traces of the two artists in the room.

Guided tours are offered from June to October; please contact the Ciäsa Granda Museum.
