Intro
Giovanni Segantini's atelier is located in Maloja, the Alpine village that housed the famous painter and his family from 1894 until his death.
The small round building is located in front of the Schweizerhaus hotel, at the beginning of the path leading to the Belvedere lookout tower, directly attached to "Chalet Kuoni," the residence of the Segantini family.
The atelier, designed by Segantini himself, is a wooden, scaled-down reproduction of what was to have been the Engadine pavilion at the 1900 Paris World's Fair: a 70-meter-diameter round building designed by the artist himself.
The walls of the pavilion were to house a giant 220-meter-long pictorial depiction of the Bregaglia and Engadine landscape. The work remained unfinished, however, but out of it came the Nature (or Alpine) Triptych. Three paintings that are the summa of Giovanni Segantini's artistic life and can now be seen in the Segantini Museum in St. Moritz.
