In the 1970s, the GREINA, which connects Graubünden with Ticino, became famous throughout Switzerland. The architect and artist Bryan Cyril Thurston campaigned for 20 years with his art against a reservoir on this magnificent plateau. At the time, his saying "only poetry can save the Greina" seemed rather abstruse to his son. But today he finds an unexpected strength in it. Everyone wants beauty!
Negli anni '70, la GREINA, che collega i Grigioni al Ticino, divenne famosa in tutta la Svizzera. L'architetto e artista Bryan Cyril Thurston si batté per 20 anni con la sua arte contro la costruzione di un bacino idrico su questo magnifico altopiano. All'epoca, la sua affermazione "solo la poesia può salvare la Greina" sembrava piuttosto astrusa a suo figlio. Ma oggi vi trova una forza inaspettata. Tutti vogliono la bellezza!
