Description
At 7:15 am on April 25th 1986 an avalanche struck the village of Mogno in the Maggia Valley destroying the 17th century church of San Giovanni Battista (Saint John the Baptist). A commission for the church's reconstruction was formed and the project given to the architect Mario Botta. The church that we see today is the answer that underlines "the positivity of construction as an expression of the toils of humankind" when faced with nature's devastating force, affirms Botta.
