Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)
Apart of that, they used to have a flyer with a list of Botta's buildings at the Tourist office. In addition to a bank (banco del Gottardo ?) there are a few individual houses which are sporging out like sculptures in their environment. There is one in Stabbio, among else.
Once I was touring with a group of friends, we were invited to enter in one of the family houses he had built.. There were no private room ! Just semi-private coves.. Included for the parents.. The matrimonial double bed was located on a mezzanine, overhanging the living. But the incoming light was fantastic..
Have a nice time there
I encountered the same problem with Monte Tamaro once I wanted to return there with a digital camera, the funivia wasn't working. I was in Mogno just once, it was already spring but a year with much snow and the door was closed and there was still a lot of snow around. Both are very nice places.Thank you!
Funny, i intended to go to Monte Tamero to the Botta chapel, but the funiculare is closed in winter now (we used to ski there...).
I will do that next time as well as the church in Mongno.
These are imo the best Botta's in Ticino, next to some early private homes and Rustici. Other wise we live daly here with lots of his commercial buildings. I have met him once in the Grotto del Ortiga in Manno.
We had an incredible winter (well after a really bad summer and fall) so far with exceptional light every day and because we live at the lake i took advantage of the weather there.
Though i took some shots with my Leica Monochrom of the Casinó di Campione, i will post them in the Leica M forum at FM.
Here is the LAC, it took some 50 years (sic) to build that, it is yet not ready and not by Botta:
"LAC Lugano Arte Cultura"
