In the footsteps of Segantini
Giovanni Segantini, born in 1858, lived and painted in Savognin from 1886 to 1894. Numerous well-known paintings date back to this period. In 1894 he moved to Maloja and continued the series of his famous paintings there. He died of peritonitis in 1899, aged just 41.
Plaz Segantini
In 1999, to mark the 100th anniversary of the artist's death, Pro Segantini, together with the municipality of Savognin, erected a Plaz Segantini with a three-dimensional installation. This memorial is located on the Veia Purmaglera. Giovanni Segantini painted his famous picture "Plowing" from this spot.
His eldest son, Gottardo Segantini, painted in a similar style and produced wonderful pictures of his travels to Lebanon and Italy as well as the Upper Engadin and Bergell. He also created the printing press for etchings in the Sala Segantini.
The Pro Segantini Association runs the Sala Segantini in the Pavillon da Scuder, near the Juliabrücke bridge. Paintings and sculptures by both renowned and young artists in various styles are exhibited there.
In addition to books and cards about Giovanni Segantini, etchings by Gottardo Segantini, various lithographs, art prints (also by other artists) and much more are on sale.
