Church of San Giovanni Battista, Mogno

The new church was designed by the Swiss architect Mario Botta[2] who used marble and granite from the valleys of the area.

The church has a structure with an elliptical plan, with an inclined circular glass surface that serves as a roof.

It is enjoined by two outdoor spaces, a recessed seating area on its west side, and a small plaza on its north.

With respect to a longitudinal plane it can be noted that the most significant element is the rampant arch, which, according to the will of the designer, symbolizes the arch of the ancient church that protected part of the village of Mogno from the avalanche of April 25, 1986 that completely overwhelmed and destroyed the old church.

On the left side there is a statue of the Madonna, that stands over a baptismal font in light marble.
