Attractions in Valposchiavo

The Devon House in Via dei Palazzi is the first stop on our tour. Built in 1863 according to the plans of the Italian architect Giovanni Sottovia (1827-1892) for Pietro Pozzi, an emigrant who became very wealthy as a confectioner in Porto, the house came into the possession of the Semadeni family in 1908, another emigrant family that ran a successful coffee house in Ilfracombe in the southwest English county of Devon.

Leisure

In 1961, Wolfgang Hildesheimer and his wife moved to Casa Gay, where they lived on the first floor and where Wolfgang Hildesheimer lived until his death in 1991.

The double palazzo Lardelli-Matossi shows most clearly the influence of the Rennaissance architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) on the work of Giovanni Sottovia.

The Macelleria Lardi Scirè in Poschiavo has always provided quality local products, processed in its laboratory in Le Prese and thanks to the collaboration with the breeders of Valposchiavo [Graubünden, Switzerland].
