LAGO MAGGIORE E VALLI In a different world TIME AND AGAIN, WRITERS HAVE SOUGHT THE SOLITUDE OF THE ONSERNONE VALLEY, WHICH THEY CAN STILL FIND TODAY. A historic landscape in green: Onsernone valley. 30 It is as unworldly as it is veiled in mystery, this valley with its rocky gorges, woody slopes and the little roads winding high up into the terraces, where they branch into stone-built villages. The actual distance to Locarno is not great, although it feels immense. There is a reason why writers have repeatedly chosen to settle here: to feel the primordial power. It drew Alfred Andersch to Berzona, as well as Max Frisch, who paid tribute to the Onsernone Valley in his work “Man in the Holocene”. However, the best known, and also the most controversial writer of the valley was Aline Valangin (Dorf an der Grenze - Village on the Border). Together with the lawyer Wladimir Rosenbaum she created an island of freedom and contentment in Comologno during the 1930s. James Joyce also stopped here, as did C.G. Jung and Kurt Tucholsky. Here they founded a refuge for the politically oppressed, and often the guests of the attractive Aline Valangin were also her lovers. It is little wonder, then, that her permissive lifestyle caused a commotion in the village and even throughout the valley. Today, things are quieter in Comologno. Yet the beauty of the valley and its wild landscape have remained. There are countless historic walks just waiting to be discovered.
“Ticino makes you happy” Why did you bring your theatre to settle in Verscio? Ticino is something special, not only because it looks pretty and has a mild climate. It has a charisma which makes you feel happy and inspires you to work. How would you describe a typical inhabitant of Ticino? Very humorous, a typical Latin-type. Really the people from the valleys are tolerant and hospitable, with an incredible enthusiasm for telling stories. What are the typical qualities of a native of Ticino? The old locals of the valleys are simple, but intelligent, open and unprejudiced people. The cultured city dwellers are rather reserved. They don’t speak in dialect any longer. And then there are the adventurers... If a tourist asks you for advice, what do you recommend? I love the remote valleys, where you can go walking during even the hottest summers and cool yourself off in an ice-cold mountain stream. You can only find these types of walks in Ticino – and you can do most of them quite easily with the whole family.
