A dark past

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.

Centro Giacometti - tre mostre

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.

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.

The vivid Traces left by the Artists

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 atelier. 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.
