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.
Information From Thursday, 2 April 2026, accessible every day, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., if necessary contact (in German) the artist on WhatsApp. Toni Weishaupt +41 79 563 02 61

The Ciäsa Granda (‘big house’), now an ethnographic museum, belongs to the Museo Ciäsa Granda e Atelier Giacometti Foundation since 2023. In 1952, the assembly of the then Società Culturale association decided to purchase the house to convert it into a cultural centre. The museum features realistic dioramas, reconstructions of workshops for various crafts and valuable documentation of domestic life in the valley. Visitors are given a vivid insight into the social, cultural and natural history of the Bregaglia Valley and can also learn about its customs. During the summer months, the Ciäsa Granda hosts special exhibitions.
In addition to the special atmosphere of the imposing 16th-century patrician house, the museum also displays high-quality fine art. The collection of artworks by artists from the Bregaglia Valley, Giovanni, Augusto, Alberto and Diego Giacometti, as well as Varlin, who moved to Bondo, is modest in size but reflects the artists' close connection to the valley, particularly in terms of subject matter. The studio of Giovanni and Alberto Giacometti is run by the museum.
Opening hours From 30 May to 18 October 2026, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Closed on Mondays. From 15 July to 31 August 2026, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed on Mondays.

In the historic stable "la stala", dating from 1736 and situated in the heart of Stampa, the Kultur InfoPoint run by the association "die Bergeller–i bargaiot" invites visitors to two multimedia exhibitions that showcase the Bergell from fresh perspectives.
The exhibition «Die Bergeller – i bargaiot: who comes, who goes, who stays» on the ground floor portrays people who shape the valley – locals and newcomers alike. In short films, they talk about their life stories, their connection to Bergell and the transformation of an alpine border region. The collection is constantly growing, thus forming a living portrait of the valley community.
On the upper floor, «Zu Tisch im Bergtal» is dedicated to regional food culture. In atmospheric films, visitors meet people who gather, produce and prepare food in the mountain region. The exhibition shows how tradition, innovation and sustainable craftsmanship are interwoven – and, with interactive elements, also invites children to explore.
The Kultur InfoPoint builds bridges between generations, cultures and ways of life. It brings the Bergell to life as an open, evolving cultural space and connects the past with the present.
Opening hours and admission Access to both exhibitions is barrier-free and available daily from 8.00 am to 8.00 pm.

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.
