Address

Company description and purpose of company Mogno - Bergkirche Mario Botta

An elliptical building from the outside with a sloping roof, black and white striped, inside a sensual chess pattern with similar shapes: This is the church designed by the well-known architect Botta - the Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista near Fusio. Mogno is a small hamlet in the Maggia valley (Val Lavizzara) at 1180m, which has only been used as a mountain hut since the 19th century. In 1986 an avalanche destroyed the church and a dozen or so houses, which fortunately were uninhabited. In the 1990s, the Ticino architect rebuilt the small church consecrated to John the Baptist. The daring construction of alternating layers of native Peccia marble and Vallemaggia granite was extremely controversial, but developed into a landmark that is known far beyond the country's borders. The church has no windows, the interior, which can seat around 15 people, is only illuminated by light falling through the glass roof. The chapel should not be confused with the Capella Santa Maria degli Angeli on Monte Tamaro, also by Mario Botta.
