Exhibitions

April 2023 - October 2024: Temporary exhibition "Le tour du monde de Emilio Balli (1878-1879)", at the Museo di Valmaggia (Cevio, Ticino).

Between April 2023 and October 2024, a major international exhibition will be open to the public: the circumnavigation of the globe undertaken between 1878 and 1879 by Emilio Balli, a native of Valmaggia and the only inhabitant of Ticino to have completed an expedition of this scale. The project was made possible by the availability of Emilio Balli's archives, which had been carefully preserved in his home for many years, and by the collaboration of the Department of Geography and Environment at the University of Geneva.
